A unique service that combines professional AC cleaning with heatstroke coverage is now available in Japan for a limited time.
In Japan, summers have been getting hotter each year, and concerns about heatstroke are rising among families. To address this growing problem, Aktia Corporation (Tokyo) has teamed up with AEON Insurance Services (Chiba) and Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance to launch an innovative service called “Air Conditioner Cleaning with Heatstroke Insurance.”
From August 12 to October 9, 2025, customers who purchase a professional AC cleaning service through Aktia’s online platform will also receive family accident and heatstroke coverage. This special insurance begins on the first day of the month following the cleaning and lasts for one year. It includes daily hospitalization benefits of 2,000 yen, not only for traffic accidents but also for hospitalizations caused by heatstroke during daily life.
What makes this service particularly meaningful is that it does more than clean your air conditioner. It offers peace of mind by preparing families for unexpected medical costs. Moreover, Aktia’s staff are all certified as “Heatstroke Ambassadors,” ensuring that safety knowledge is part of their company culture. They also share preventive tips and awareness through articles and social media, aiming to create a society that is better prepared against heat risks.
Looking ahead, this initiative could set a new trend in Japan, where practical home services are bundled with health protection. If successful, it may expand into other household services, giving families even more ways to combine daily comfort with essential security.
