How to Choose a
Trustworthy AC Service
Don’t get scammed this summer. Learn how to identify reliable technicians, avoid fake gas refills, and ensure fair pricing in Bangalore & Mysore.
SCAM ALERT: The “Gas Top-Up” Trap
Warning: Dishonest technicians often claim your gas is “low” (e.g., 60%) and needs a “top-up”. This is false. AC gas does not reduce with use. If it’s low, there is a leak. Top-up is a temporary waste of money. Always ask for a Leak Test first.
Why Trust Matters
In cities like Bangalore and Mysore, ACs run for extended hours. Finding a technician is easy, but finding an honest one is hard. Many platforms send freelancers who lack accountability.
This guide empowers you to ask the right questions and verify the service before you pay.
The “Trustworthy” Checklist
Before hiring, ensure your service provider ticks these boxes.
1. Written Estimates
Never agree to verbal quotes. A trusted pro provides a digital or written breakdown of inspection, labor, and parts costs *before* starting work.
2. Local Address
Do they have a physical office in Mysore or Bangalore? Fly-by-night operators usually have no fixed address.
3. Spare Part Transparency
They should show you the old part and the new part (in sealed packaging) side-by-side. Ask if it’s Original or Compatible.
4. Trained Staff
Aspire technicians are trained on modern Inverter ACs. Local electricians may not understand PCB error codes.
5. Warranty on Work
A good repair should last. Look for a service guarantee (e.g., 30 days on labor, 6 months on parts).
6. Google Reviews
Check recent reviews from your area (e.g., Vijayanagar, Hebbal). Look for consistency in rating.
3 Questions to Ask Your Tech
Test their knowledge before they touch your AC:
- “Do you perform a vacuum suction before gas refilling?” (Answer should be YES. Direct filling damages the compressor).
- “Is the visiting charge adjustable if I take the service?” (Standard practice is YES).
- “Can you show me the Ampere reading after repair?” (This proves the AC is running at full capacity).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to book a local technician?
It carries risk. Without a company backing them, there is no accountability if the repair fails or theft occurs. Aspire provides verified, uniformed staff.
How often should I service my AC?
In Bangalore/Mysore, twice a year is ideal. Once before summer (March) and once after monsoon (October) to remove dust and mold.
