Frequently asked questions
What is the AC installation cost in India?
Split AC installation in India costs ₹2,000–₹4,000 for a 1.5-ton unit on a standard floor. This includes indoor unit wall mounting, outdoor unit placement on a stand, copper pipe (up to 3m), and wiring. Higher floors need longer pipe runs — add ₹250–400/metre beyond 3 metres. Cassette ACs cost ₹4,000–₹9,000 to install due to ceiling work.
How much does an AC gas refill cost in India?
AC gas refill costs ₹1,500–₹3,000 for a 1.5-ton unit in India (2026). R410A (used in newer ACs) costs more than R22. Gas top-up is needed when cooling performance drops despite clean filters. Always ask the technician to check for leaks before refilling — otherwise the gas will escape again.
What is included in annual AC servicing?
Standard annual AC service (₹500–₹1,200 for split AC) includes: indoor unit filter cleaning, evaporator coil cleaning with jet wash, condensate drain clearing, outdoor unit fins cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, capacitor check, and performance test. Some centres also tighten electrical connections.
Should I choose a brand AMC or independent service?
Brand AMC (Voltas/LG/Daikin authorised service) costs 30–50% more than independent technicians but uses genuine parts and protects the manufacturer warranty. For ACs under warranty (typically 1–5 years), always use brand-authorised service. For older ACs, a trusted independent technician who handles your AC brand is often the better value.
