Your A/C regulates the temperature and quality of air within your household. Without a functioning unit, your house would be unlivable. Another thing to take into consideration is that, as is the case with all pieces of mechanical equipment, maintenance is needed to keep your unit up and running more reliably. Let us give you some maintenance tips on how to maintain your air conditioning unit.
Air Conditioner Filters
Everyone, at least once in their life, has had to change out, or clean an air filter on their A/C unit. It is vital that these purify stay cleaned to allow for better airflow. With this, your unit will not have to strain to keep the airflow high and steady. A clean filter also means that the quality of the air circulating is even higher, indicating that dust, hair, and dander are not just being pushed around your house. Some filters are reusable, while others need to be replaced, make sure you know which kind your unit utilizes.
Condensate Drains
Due to the moisture and water flow of the drain build-ups and clogging can occur. To prevent this occasionally run a stiff wire through to alleviate this problem.
Air Conditioner Coils
Your unit’s evaporator and condenser coils will collect dirt as they are used. This pollution will be lessened by a fresh filter, but that does not mean the coils will never get too dirty to function. To avoid this problem, you should clean your coils yearly.
Coil Fins
These are the aluminum fins located on your unit’s coils, and are easily bent and can lead to a blockage of airflow through the coil. To fix this, purchase a tool called a “fin comb”; this will allow you to comb the fins back into their position.
Hire a Certified Professional
Bringing in a professional to inspect your unit is a lot like going to the doctor for a checkup, you are checking to see if there is anything that should be fixed before it leads to something much worse. The professional can examine and look for things that you may miss due to your lack of training.
