AC servicing in Lagos: what a good technician does on a visit
What a standard split-unit AC service includes, how often to book one in Lagos conditions, and the questions to ask a technician before you confirm.
What a standard service includes
Cleaning the indoor filters and evaporator coil, washing the outdoor condenser coil, checking the drain line, checking the refrigerant pressure and inspecting electrical connections. If gas is low, a top-up is a separate item and the technician should say so first.
How often
In Lagos dust and humidity, most households service a frequently used unit every three to six months. A unit that is cooling poorly, dripping indoors or tripping the breaker should be looked at sooner.
Questions to ask before booking
Does the listed price cover one unit or several? Is gas top-up included? Will they bring a ladder for a high outdoor unit? The provider's service description on RunBeta often answers these; if not, ask in the app chat before the visit.
