THREE TIPS TO MAINTAIN YOUR AC THIS SUMMER (1) (1)
Admin • June 21, 2016
There is nothing worse than your AC dying in the middle of a sweltering summer. Stay cool indoors all summer long and keep your AC running smoothly with these three AC maintenance tips.
1. REPLACE YOUR FILTERS
The filters in your AC need to be changed or cleaned routinely. Forgetting to replace the filter may lead to a build-up of dirt and debris that will not only block the air flow but may also cause the AC to try and work overtime, gobbling up energy and blocking the coils in the process.
2. CLEAN YOUR COILS
The coils in your AC must be clean and clear of debris in order to cool the air down properly. Make sure to check the evaporator coils annually, clear them or any dirt or buildup, and make sure to keep foliage, yard rubbish, and other possible contaminants away from your AC unit.
3. CLEAN AND STRAIGHTEN FINS
If they become bent or warped, the metal fins on air conditioner coils can block the airflow and lead to a reduction in the blowing power of your AC unit. Make sure to bend these fins back, or use a special tool to help keep them straight.
