Introduction
Many Malaysians rely heavily on air conditioning during Ramadan to stay cool while fasting. But did you know that a neglected air-con can consume up to 40% more electricity and may stop working right when you need it most? Before Ramadan starts, make sure your air-con is clean, energy-efficient, and ready to handle the festive season. Follow these 5 crucial air-con maintenance steps to ensure a comfortable, cool, and hassle-free Ramadan & Hari Raya.
1. Clean or Replace Your Air-con Filters for Fresh, Cool Air
If your air-con feels weak or has a musty smell, chances are your air filter is clogged with dust. Dirty filters block airflow, reduce cooling efficiency, and increase electricity usage—the last thing you want when running your air-con for long hours!
What to do?
✔ Remove the air filter and wash it with water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling.
✔ If it’s too dirty or damaged, replace it with a new filter (costs around RM30-RM50).
✔ Clean your filters every 2-3 weeks during Ramadan to maintain fresh and cool air.
Pro Tip: A clean filter can reduce energy consumption by up to 15%, helping you save on your TNB bill!
2. Schedule an Air-con Chemical Cleaning Before Ramadan
A standard air-con cleaning removes dust, but if your unit hasn’t been serviced in a year, it might need chemical cleaning. This is especially important if your air-con:
Has weak airflow or takes longer to cool the room
Has a bad smell even after cleaning the filter
Leaks water or makes strange noises
3. Check & Top Up Air-con Gas If Cooling Feels Weak
Ever noticed that your air-con is running but not cooling properly? You might be low on refrigerant gas.
A low gas level means your aircon struggles to cool the room, causing it to work harder and increase your electricity bill.
4. Set Your Aircon to Energy-Saving Mode for Ramadan
With long nights of prayers and early morning Suhoor, air-con usage increases during Ramadan. The best way to reduce electricity bills is by using the right settings:
Best energy-saving settings:
✔ Set temperature between 24°C-26°C – Ideal for comfort without overworking the unit
✔ Use sleep mode – Adjusts temperature automatically at night
✔ Turn on fan mode – Helps circulate cool air faster
5. Clean Your Outdoor Unit for Maximum Efficiency
Most people forget about the outdoor air-con compressor, but it plays a huge role in cooling efficiency. If it’s covered in dust, leaves, or bird droppings, your air-con works harder and consumes more electricity.
Final Thoughts: Stay Cool & Comfortable This Ramadan & Eid!
A well-maintained air-con keeps your home cool, fresh, and energy-efficient during the fasting month and Raya celebrations.
