When to book aircon servicing before Chinese New Year
Many households book home services in the weeks before Chinese New Year, so booking earlier gives you more choice of dates. A practical aim is to contact companies a few weeks before the festive period and have the servicing done before your spring cleaning ends.
The right lead time depends on your household. If you can only take a visit on a weekend or in the evening, start looking earlier so you have more dates to choose from. If you are hosting family, aim to finish well before guests arrive.
When you compare aircon servicing companies, note the areas each one says it covers and whether its published rate is for a single unit or needs several. Sorting this out early makes it easier to fit aircon servicing before CNY around your cleaning and any small repairs.
Combining it with spring cleaning
Aircon servicing can drip, and the technician may need you to move furniture away from the indoor units. If you do the big clean first, you may end up wiping floors and shifting furniture a second time. Servicing the aircons before the final clean means one round of tidying covers both jobs.
A simple order to follow:
- Declutter and do the rough cleaning.
- Have the aircons serviced.
- Put the furniture back and do the final clean.
The CNY cleaning timeline can help you plan the cleaning jobs around the servicing visit. Before the technician comes, read how to prepare your home for aircon servicing so each unit is easy to reach.
If you are booking professional deep cleaning, tell the cleaning company when the aircon servicing is scheduled, so the deep clean comes after it.

Read each line as printed. Many rates are "From" prices, and many apply only when you book a minimum number of units. Where a line applies only to two or more units, it is a multi-unit price, shown as the price for each unit. Each row links to the company's own source, so you can check the terms there. For more on how companies set out their rates, see aircon servicing prices.
Holiday charges and booking terms
Some companies may have different terms for weekends, the eve of a public holiday or the holidays themselves. Ask before you book, and keep the answers in a message so you can refer to them later.
Questions worth asking:
- Is the rate the same on weekends, eves and public holidays?
- Does the published rate need a minimum number of units?
- What are your cancellation and rescheduling terms?
- How much notice do you need if I have to change the date?
What to book ahead, and when
Use this plan as a guide, counting back from Chinese New Year.
| When | Aircon | Cleaning | Small repairs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Four to six weeks before | Compare companies and book the servicing | Plan the cleaning and book any professional cleaning | List jobs such as dripping taps or loose cabinet handles, and contact a handyman or plumber |
| Two weeks before | Have the units serviced after the rough clean | Declutter and do the rough clean | Have the repairs done |
| The week before | Check that each unit cools and is not dripping | Do the final clean | Check the repaired items again |
If you have several units, or need a weekend visit, start at the earlier end of the range. If you need more than servicing, such as a repair or a new unit, see aircon in Singapore for the other aircon services listed.

Compare aircon servicingSmall checks you can do yourself
Cleaning the filters is the main job you can do yourself. The guide on how to clean an aircon filter walks you through it: remove the filters, rinse them with lukewarm water and let them dry fully in the shade before you put them back.
Also check the area around each unit as part of your spring cleaning. NEA says not to place trays or containers under or on an aircon unit, as they can let mosquitoes breed. Its preventive measures checklist also asks you to turn pails over and store them under shelter, remove water from plant pot plates every other day and keep corridor scupper drains clear.
Questions
How many weeks before Chinese New Year should I book aircon servicing?
A few weeks before is a practical aim. Many households book home services in the weeks before Chinese New Year, so booking earlier gives you more choice of dates. Contacting companies four to six weeks ahead leaves time to compare published rates and have the servicing done before your final clean.
Should I service the aircon before or after spring cleaning?
Before the final clean. Aircon servicing can drip, and you may need to move furniture away from the indoor units. If you clean first, you may have to wipe floors and shift furniture again. A simple order is to declutter and do the rough clean, have the aircons serviced, then do the final clean.
Do aircon companies charge more before Chinese New Year?
Some companies may have different weekend or holiday terms, so ask before you book. Check whether the rate changes on weekends, eves or public holidays, whether the published rate needs a minimum number of units and what the cancellation terms are. Then compare the answers with the company's published rate and its source.
Is a chemical wash needed before Chinese New Year?
There is no rule that says you need one before the festive period. Whether a chemical wash makes sense depends on the condition of the unit. Let the servicing company inspect the unit first, then ask whether it suggests general servicing or a chemical wash for that unit, and why.
Can I clean the aircon filters myself before the servicing?
Yes, this is a small job you can do yourself. Switch the aircon off at the isolator, lift the front panel and slide the filters out. Rinse them with lukewarm water and let them dry fully in the shade before you put them back. If a filter looks damaged, mention it to the technician.
What should I prepare before the technician comes?
Clear the space under and around each indoor unit, and move furniture or items that could get wet, as servicing can drip. Remove any trays or containers placed under or on the units. Confirm the number of units, the agreed rate and the visit time with the company the day before.
