1. General AC service — ₹500
The most common booking. Includes:
- Indoor air filter wash
- Indoor unit surface wipe-down
- Drain pipe flush + outlet check
- Outdoor condenser dust clean
- Cooling temperature check at outlet
- Voltage and current draw measurement
- Visual leak / damage inspection
Time: 30–45 minutes. Recommended: every 4–6 months in Kadapa.
2. Deep cleaning / Jet wash — ₹1,000
Once-a-year deep service. Restores 15–25% of cooling that builds up dust over the year. Includes everything in general service plus:
- High-pressure jet wash of indoor coil with food-grade chemical
- Indoor unit half-disassembly for blower wheel cleaning
- Outdoor condenser fin pressure-wash
- Drain tray scrub and anti-bacterial treatment
- Refrigerant pressure check
Time: 60–90 minutes. Recommended: once a year, ideally February.
3. Gas top-up vs full refilling — ₹2,000 vs ₹3,000
Gas top-up (₹2,000) — when refrigerant pressure is slightly low (small slow leak). Technician adds gas to top up the existing charge. Takes 30 minutes. Cooling restored to 90%+.
Full gas refilling (₹3,000) — when there's a major leak or the system is empty. Technician finds and seals the leak, vacuums the lines, and refills with the correct quantity of R32 or R410A. Takes 90–120 minutes.
If a technician quotes ₹3,000 for what's clearly a top-up situation, ask why. A pressure gauge reading will show whether top-up is enough.
4. Split AC installation — ₹2,000
For a new split AC, ground or first floor. Includes:
- Indoor unit wall mounting with bracket
- Outdoor unit placement (ground stand or wall bracket)
- Up to 3 metres of copper pipe + insulation
- Drain pipe installation with proper slope
- Power cable connection (no MCB box work)
- Vacuum, gas charge release, performance test

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AC service cost in Kadapa in 2026?+
A general AC service in Kadapa costs ₹500 — this includes filter cleaning, indoor coil wipe-down, drain pipe flush, outdoor unit dust clean and a basic performance check. A deep jet-wash service (recommended once a year) is ₹1,000.
What's the difference between general service and deep cleaning?+
General service (₹500) is a 30-minute clean — filter, surface dust, drain check. Deep cleaning / jet wash (₹1,000) takes 60–90 minutes and uses a high-pressure water jet on the indoor coil and outdoor condenser to remove deep dust, oil and bacteria. Deep cleaning restores 15–25% of lost cooling.
How often should I service my AC in Kadapa?+
Once a year minimum — ideally in February before summer hits. If you use the AC more than 8 hours a day, do a general service every 4 months. Kadapa's heavy dust shortens service intervals compared to coastal cities.
Is the visit charge extra?+
No — visit and diagnosis are completely FREE if you go ahead with the repair. If you choose not to repair after diagnosis, no charge. We don't believe in 'inspection fees' that pressure customers into bookings.
Do you give a warranty on AC service in Kadapa?+
Yes — every service and repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty. If the same problem returns within 30 days, we fix it free of charge. Replaced parts carry the original manufacturer's warranty (typically 6–12 months).
Is AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) worth it for home ACs?+
If you have 2 or more ACs at home, yes — an AMC works out 30–40% cheaper than per-visit pricing and includes priority same-day service. For a single AC, per-visit service is usually more economical unless you want the convenience of scheduled visits.
Why do some technicians charge less than ₹500?+
Be careful — quotes below ₹400 often skip critical steps like drain flush, outdoor cleaning or coil inspection. They also frequently 'discover' problems mid-service to upsell. Our ₹500 includes everything, with a written checklist of what was done.
