Thanks to regular reviews you can also detect and remove a minor fault early enough to prevent it from causing a more serious failure that could be costly. Optimally, therefore, maintenance should be done twice a year: in spring and autumn.
In buildings exposed to pollution, such as service points, restaurants or technical rooms review inspections should be performed more often.
When using air conditioning, not only for cooling but also for heating the air, it is also advisable to increase maintenance frequency per year.
It should be in mind that maintaining a healthy air conditioning unit ensures not only from the economic point of view but care for health, and it is also an indispensable condition for maintaining an air conditioner warranty.
