Making sure you have your air conditioner maintained is an important investment to make. By keeping your air conditioner in the best shape possible, you can save on both money and energy. No matter if you have a central air conditioner or window air condition, always make sure the unit is maintained and inspected regularly. This way you can help to reduce the risk of any major problems from happening when you will need your air conditioner the most. In order to have your air conditioner running smoothly and producing the nice cool air, you need to make sure the area your unit is in is the best. You can help your air conditioner to produce the cool air by placing the unit in the shade or side of your home that gets the least amount of sun. This way, the air conditioner does not have to work as hard. Also make sure to remove debris so that the air conditioner will not get bogged down. This usually is the case as dust and debris build up. If you notice there is buildup in the unit, you can clean out the debris by using a wet rag, broom, or even vacuum.

Keep the Air Conditioner’s filter in good condition

In order to have your air conditioner running efficiently, you should clean and change the filters as recommended. The air conditioner’s filter removes particles from the air to keep the air conditioning system running clean and clear. Over time, the filter will become clogged as it collects more and more particles. By having the filter full of dust particles and debris, it will reduce the airflow throughout the system. If you happen to notice your air conditioner is not kicking out as much cool air as it used to, you should look into changing the filter. This is based on how dirty the air is by your home, and how large the filter is. By having us inspect it, you will know when a good time to change your filter.

Make sure to have it inspected

Doing routine maintenance for your air conditioner is important as well. Having it professionally inspected can reassure you that the whole system is looked at for any issue that may need addressing shortly. We can also look at parts you may have forgotten to look at or notice anything you may have overlooked. If your air conditioner is not producing as much cool air as normal, and you have changed the filter, it may be time to call a professional to see where the issue might be. Usually the sooner the better, so no further damager or cost can be done to your air conditioner.

Check the Ductwork system as well

The ductwork in your home is also significant to check to make sure it is in good working order. If you notice your home is not cooling like it used to, and you have checked over the unit, it may be the ductwork. There can be as much as 40 percent of air leakage through the duct system. Any crack, gap, or connection area of the duct system can cause for a leak in the system. By inspecting the ductwork you can help reduce the chance of this happening. You can also help to make sure your air conditioner is energy efficient again.
