Undergoing regular maintenance, the air conditioner will last for at least 10 to 15 years without breakdowns. Modern climate technology consists of mechanical and electronic parts. Regular inspection by specialists in the repair and maintenance of air conditioners reduces the likelihood of failure of large and expensive components. Despite the fact that the models of well-known manufacturers have a good margin of safety, the main thing is timely cleaning and testing.

Many owners do not even know how to maintain air conditioning in the apartment. Therefore, at least every 6 months it is necessary to call a specialist. Office air conditioners require service once every 3 months, and equipment working with heavy loads (in cafes, shops or server rooms) must be inspected every month.
