AC care guides for Bali
Straight answers about looking after air conditioning in Bali's climate — no jargon, real prices, written by the technicians who do the work.
Why AC behaves differently here
Almost everything written about air conditioning assumes a temperate climate, a heating season and a sealed building. None of that describes Bali. Here the humidity rarely drops, the salt reaches several kilometres inland, the dust changes character between the coast, the rice fields and the city, and a unit in a short-stay villa can run twenty hours a day for months without stopping. Equipment that would last a decade elsewhere ages faster, and the failure modes arrive in a different order — smell and drainage problems long before anything electrical.
That is what these guides are about: how often a unit actually needs cleaning in this climate rather than what the manual says, what the work costs and why the figures vary, and how to choose a unit that suits a Balinese building instead of a European one. They are written from the jobs we attend, not from a manufacturer brochure.
If you already know what you need, the service pages carry the full price list and the warranty terms for each job.
