Common AC Unit Maintenance Mistakes And How To Avoid Them
Without the proper Air Conditioner or AC service repair, you will spend a lot of money on electricity bills and your AC might not be able to provide the desired temperature levels. If you have an AC, you should avoid the common mistakes illustrated in this article.
Not
checking your filters
All
ACs bring air from outdoors into your unit, cool it and then send it into your
house. Your AC ensures that your home is fresh all the time. However, this
doesn’t mean that any debris, dust and allergens in the air outside your home
can make it indoors.
That
is why modern AC systems have a series of filters in place to catch all
contaminants in the air. The more your AC runs, the more contaminants and
debris the filters will catch.
During
AC repair, it is important to get the filters inspected and
replaced at least once every three months. When you leave dirty filters in
place, it will hurt the indoor air quality of your home. It will also make your
AC work harder to cool your home.
Ignoring
strange noises
Every
AC makes noises when you switch it on. However, after leaving your AC for a few
weeks, you will know the normal sound your AC produces. If you notice a change
in the sound your AC produces, you should call a professional to come and
inspect your unit.
Forgetting
to clean air vents
Your
air vents can collect a lot of debris and dust over the year. Anytime your AC
turns on, the air gets forced through the vents into your home. Any dirt and
debris trapped in the vents will get sent out into your house anytime the AC
turns on. While it doesn’t impact the efficiency of your AC, you should clean
the vents at least every month during your AC service repair.
