How often should I carry out maintenance operation on my air conditioner?
It depends on how often you use it and how dusty the interior room is and how dusty the outside air is. In relatively clean running conditions you only clean the air conditioner somewhere after 5–10 years.

It depends on how often you use it and how dusty the interior room is and how dusty the outside air is. In relatively clean running conditions you only clean the air conditioner somewhere after 5–10 years. But the more often you clean them the better the air conditioner will run and the longer it will last, so once every one or two years is best. Wash the removable filter when it becomes dirty. If your air conditioner is making a cracking and popping noise, or if it is not cooling well and looks dirty it needs to be cleaned immediately.
See lessIs it right for employers to send their employees on personal errands?
When you start work you don’t know what to expect and what is allowed, so you do the things you are asked to do because you don’t know better. No one told me I had a right to refuse.

See lessWhat I know now, is that there are some people who will have you believe that this is all part of the job. I don’t believe this to be the case as not everyone is treated the same. Back then, I noticed it was always the women in the office who were put in this position of being asked to run personal errands.
Unless you are a personal assistant and these types of errands are in your job description, quite simply, the answer is no you shouldn’t be running personal errands for anyone in the office nor should you put someone in an awkward position by asking them to do your personal errands either.
If you offer your services then that is your business. For example, you are going to a department store and your boss asks you to get a birthday card if you have time — well fine. Or you can see they are rushed off their feet and would welcome a sandwich for lunch. That’s thoughtful and collegiate. Beyond that, you are there to deliver on your job. You gain nothing by being a lapdog, you may think you will be well-thought-of but what your colleagues actually think, is that you don’t have confidence to refuse these tasks. And, that lack of confidence may harm your career because you can’t set boundaries.
