AC unit blowing hot air?

If your ac is blowing hot air, your unit's refrigerant levels may be low. This usually indicates a refrigerant leak in your system! If so, your air conditioner will continue to run and blow hot air, trying to reach the temperature you set on your thermostat.

AC unit not cooling enough?

The most common reason your split and window AC won't cool is because of dirty air filters. If the AC filter is dirty or clogged with dust and dirt, it can lead to various problems. This could interfere with the proper functioning of the thermostat.

Bad Smell coming from AC?

Mold is the most common culprit when an air conditioner smells bad. If you smell musty air coming from your air vents, mold or fungus is growing in or around your air conditioner and can sometimes enter the ducts themselves.

Water leak from AC unit?

A clogged condensate drain is the most common cause of water leaking from your air conditioner into your home. If the drain line is clogged with dust, dirt, mud, or mold, that water will flow back into your home. In this case, you will have to unclog it.

Window AC Service Charges

Are window AC service charges different for window and split ACs in Visakhapatnam?

Yes, and for good reason. Window AC units are typically easier to access and require less disassembly. That’s why service charges for them tend to be ₹100–₹300 lower compared to split ACs. For instance, a standard cleaning and maintenance session for a window AC might cost ₹400–₹700, whereas a split AC service usually starts at ₹600–₹900, depending on tonnage and dirt level. Why this difference? Split ACs have two components — indoor and outdoor units — and the technician needs to service both, including climbing outdoors or using ladders. Window ACs, on the other hand, are self-contained and faster to clean. Jayanthi Engineering Works clearly distinguishes pricing in their service catalogue. If you’re unsure what kind of service your unit needs, they’ll assess the age, past performance, and usage pattern before suggesting the right package. Also note — some service providers may quote same prices for both AC types, but that’s often a flat fee and may not reflect actual effort or part usage. So yes, choose a provider who fairly adjusts the charge based on AC type — and Jayanthi does just that.
