Cleaning the AC before Lunar New Year: maintenance scope and booking preparation
Contents
As Lunar New Year approaches, everyone hopes for a fresh and comfortable home in the new year. In this festive atmosphere, AC cleaning has become one of the must-do items on many families’ pre-New-Year cleaning list. This article explains the importance of AC cleaning in detail and provides a complete cleaning step-by-step guide to help you give your home’s air-conditioning system a thorough clean and maintenance before Lunar New Year arrives.
Why is it important to clean the AC before Lunar New Year?
Improve air quality
An air conditioner used for a long time can accumulate dust and bacteria inside. These pollutants not only affect air quality, but may also negatively affect your family's health. Regular AC cleaning can effectively remove these pollutants and ensure that you and your family can breathe fresher air during Lunar New Year.
Energy saving and carbon reduction
An AC unit full of dust needs more energy to achieve the same cooling effect. Cleaning the AC not only saves on electricity bills, but is also an environmentally friendly practice that helps reduce carbon emissions.
Extend service life
Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the service life of the air conditioner, avoid mechanical faults caused by excessive dust buildup, and reduce future repair costs.
Improve AC performance
AC cleaning can restore cooling performance, make the unit run more smoothly and improve cooling results, making home life more comfortable during Lunar New Year.

Scope of professional AC service
Preparations before cleaning begins
Switch off the power: Before cleaning, make sure the air conditioner has been switched off to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Protection covering: Use a waterproof sheet or plastic bag to cover the walls and floor around the air conditioner to prevent water splashing during cleaning.
Clean the indoor unit
Filter maintenance should follow the model manual, and only parts approved for washing should be cleaned in the specified way. Internal cleaning and abnormal drainage should be handled by service staff; checking refrigerant pressure is not a required step for every year-end cleaning or every service visit, and residents should not dismantle the unit or open the sealed system.
Find professional help
Cleaning the AC before Lunar New Year helps ensure the system runs well during the peak period and improves cooling performance. Getting help from a professional team can thoroughly remove dirt, improve air quality and create a fresh, comfortable New Year environment for the family.
