Your AC breaks down on the hottest afternoon of May. You call three technicians — one does not pick up, one says he can come in three days, the third quotes a price that seems too high but you have no choice. Sound familiar?
This is exactly what an AC Annual Maintenance Contract — AMC — prevents. With an AMC, you pay once a year and get scheduled servicing, priority breakdown response, and predictable repair costs throughout Kolkata's brutal 7-month cooling season. No panic calls, no surprise bills, no waiting.
Unique Aircon offers AMC plans for homes, offices, and commercial spaces across South and Central Kolkata. Based in Jadavpur, we cover your AC throughout the year — not just when something breaks. Call

What Happens During Each AMC Service Visit?
Each scheduled visit by Unique Aircon covers a full inspection and service — not just a quick filter rinse. Here is exactly what our technician does:
1
Filter removal, wash and dry
Both filters removed, rinsed thoroughly, dried and reinstalled correctly. A blocked filter is the single biggest cause of high electricity bills and poor cooling in Kolkata. See our electricity saving tips for why this matters.
2
Evaporator coil cleaning (indoor unit)
Coil cleaning spray applied and rinsed — removes dust, mould, and bacterial film that accumulate on the coil in Kolkata's humid climate. A clean evaporator coil directly improves both cooling performance and air quality.
3
Condenser coil cleaning (outdoor unit)
Outdoor unit fins cleaned with a fin comb and jet wash. A dirty condenser coil forces the compressor to work 10 to 30 percent harder — the single biggest driver of unexpected high electricity bills in Kolkata homes.
4
Drain pan and drain pipe flush
Drain pan cleaned and drain pipe flushed with water and diluted bleach solution. Algae blockage in drain pipes is the most common cause of AC water leakage inside Kolkata homes — especially before and during monsoon.
5
Refrigerant gas pressure check
Manifold gauge connected to check system pressure against manufacturer specification. Low gas is caught early — before it causes the compressor overwork and eventual failure that costs ₹6,000 to ₹18,000 to repair.
6
Electrical connections and capacitor check
Loose wiring, weak capacitors, and corroded terminals are checked and tightened. Voltage fluctuations in South Kolkata make electrical connection health critical — loose connections cause PCB damage that costs ₹2,500 to ₹8,000 to fix.
7
Performance test and written report
AC run for 15 minutes to verify inlet-outlet temperature differential, check for unusual sounds, and confirm correct operation. Written service report provided with date, observations, and any recommendations.
Is an AC AMC Worth It for Kolkata Homes? — The Numbers
Let us compare the cost of an AMC against what you would pay without one, for a single 1.5-ton split AC over one year in Kolkata:
Without AMC — Typical Annual Costs in Kolkata
1 basic service visit (summer)
₹600 – ₹800
1 drain pipe unblocking (monsoon)
₹300 – ₹500
1 emergency breakdown call-out (peak summer)
₹400 – ₹600
Gas top-up (common in Kolkata every 2–3 years)
₹1,500 – ₹2,500
Extra electricity due to unserviced AC (annual)
₹2,000 – ₹4,000
Total without AMC (typical year)
₹4,800 – ₹8,400
With Standard AMC — What You Pay
Total with Unique Aircon Standard AMC
₹1,800 / year
Typical Kolkata saving with AMC vs ad-hoc: ₹3,000 – ₹6,600 per AC unit per year, plus the electricity savings from a well-maintained AC.
Why AMC Matters More in Kolkata Than Anywhere Else
Kolkata's climate is particularly hard on AC units compared to most Indian cities. These are the specific reasons an AMC makes more sense here:
✓
7-month cooling season means 7 months of continuous wear. Kolkata ACs run from April to October — nearly double the usage of ACs in Pune or Bangalore. Without scheduled maintenance, parts degrade much faster.
✓
Monsoon algae blocks drain pipes every year without exception. Every Kolkata AC with an outdoor drain pipe exit will develop some degree of algae growth during June to September. AMC's pre-monsoon drain flush prevents the water leakage inside the room that results.
✓
Breakdowns during peak summer are the most expensive and most inconvenient. In May and June, every decent technician in South Kolkata is fully booked. AMC customers skip the queue — they get same-day priority even when everyone else is waiting 3 days.
✓
Voltage fluctuations damage electrical components progressively. A connection check every 6 months catches deteriorating capacitors and loose terminals before they cause PCB failure — a ₹2,500 to ₹8,000 repair that AMC members avoid.
✓
Humidity causes mould inside AC units that circulates into your home. Regular coil cleaning and drain pan maintenance keeps the indoor unit hygienic — important for families with children, elderly members, or anyone with respiratory conditions.
Who Should Get an AC AMC in Kolkata?
🏠
Homeowners with 2+ ACs
Multi-unit discount makes AMC excellent value. One annual payment covers all units with priority response across the season.
👴
Elderly residents living alone
Priority response during heat waves is critical. AMC ensures someone comes quickly without the stress of finding a technician in peak summer.
🏢
Offices and commercial spaces
AC downtime during business hours costs productivity. AMC prevents unexpected outages and ensures fast response when issues occur.
🏗️
Landlords and property owners
Keep tenants happy, protect appliance value, and maintain service records — useful for rental agreements and property valuation.
👶
Homes with young children
Regular coil cleaning prevents mould and bacteria from circulating into the room. Important for respiratory health in Kolkata's humid climate.
💼
Busy professionals
No time to arrange technicians or remember service schedules. AMC handles everything — we remind you, we come, we report, you approve.
Frequently Asked Questions — AC AMC in Kolkata
Q
Does AMC cover repair costs and spare parts?
Our Basic and Standard AMC plans cover the labour cost of service visits and include discounts of 10 to 15 percent on spare parts and materials. The Comprehensive AMC includes free gas top-up (up to 250g) and free drain unblocking. Major repairs such as compressor replacement are charged separately at discounted rates. We always quote before proceeding with any repair.
Q
When are the two scheduled visits carried out?
We schedule the first visit in February or March — before Kolkata's summer starts — to ensure the AC is clean, correctly gassed, and fully ready for the high-usage season. The second visit is in June — just before monsoon — to flush the drain pipe, clean coils again after the pre-monsoon dust peak, and address any early-season issues. You choose the date, we confirm and arrive.
Q
Can I get an AMC for an old AC that has not been serviced recently?
Yes — we sign AMCs for ACs of any age and condition. However, for an AC that has not been serviced in 2+ years, we carry out a one-time restoration service at the start of the contract to bring it to a serviceable baseline. This is priced separately and quoted before we begin. After that, regular AMC visits keep it in good condition going forward.
Q
Do you offer AMC for offices with 5 or more ACs in Kolkata?
Yes — we offer commercial AMC packages for offices, clinics, showrooms, and restaurants across South and Central Kolkata. For 5 or more units we provide a custom contract with dedicated visit scheduling, priority same-day response, and a single annual invoice for easy accounting. Contact us for a custom commercial AMC quote.
