There are a few things you can do to keep up with your air conditioner maintenance so your air conditioner lasts longer.These are simple things that will help your air conditioner run the best it can for as long as it can saving you money in the process.
*Check your condensing unit. The condensing unit is the unit outside. That needs to be clear of debris or any sort because that blocks the airflow. Go outside and make sure to remove the leaves and branches around it. If you have cottonwood trees in the neighborhood be sure you clean your condenser of them as much as you can. If that gets clogged up with debris it wont cool your home properly. You can hose down the outside of the condenser so clean it off.
*Make sure you have your annual air conditioner clean and check each year. This helps clean it out and make sure everything is running the way it should. It also catches problems early before they become way bigger issues. Bartlett Heating and Air has specials on clean and checks in the spring to make sure as many people get them as they can. Doing this makes your air conditioner last longer and run better. Dirty coils make the system strain and in turn raise your energy bills.
*Make sure you check and change your filters each month using the correct filter for your home needs. This results in cleaner air for your family to breathe. It also helps the air conditioner run the way it should. When you have a dirty air filter, you impede air flow and that makes the air conditioner work harder to cool and can damage the unit over time. The air wont be as cool as it could be when a dirty air filter is used. Changing your filters are a cheap and easy thing to do to prevent future more expensive air conditioner problems.
These simple things to keep up with on your air conditioner can save you lots of frustration and money in the future when it comes to your air conditioner. Bartlett Heating and Air can help you with any concerns you may have about your air conditioner so give us a call today.
