How often should you service your AC in Lagos?
The Lagos environment, with dust, humidity, and frequent power fluctuations, means your AC needs more frequent servicing than in temperate climates. Experts recommend:
- Every 3 months for ACs used daily in dusty areas (Mainland Lagos).
- Every 6 months for ACs in cleaner, less dusty environments (Island estates).
Regular servicing catches small faults before they become expensive repairs.
