Air-Conditioner Maintenance Tips

Air-Conditioner Maintenance Tips

It's that time of year again, when keeping cool seems almost impossible! "No worries though, we got you". Just use these fast and easy expert tips to help keep your air-conditioner in proper working condition. The best time to care for your air-conditioner is before it's actually needed. Regular maintenance and cleaning are extremely important and easy to do, just follow these tips;
 
1) Change the Air-Filter- without pets every 6-12 months, with pets every 60-90 days.
    Buy air-filter from hardware store. Be sure to turn Off unit. Open the air-filter box to
    remove the old one, then put in the new one. 
2) Cleaning Coils- Make sure the power to the unit is disconnected first. Be safe, never
     attempt to work on an air-conditioner with-out first turning it OFF. Most outdoor air-
     conditioner units have an appliance box nearby. Next, wet the area you are cleaning with
     a garden hose. Using gloves and safety glasses, spray the commercial air conditioner
     cleaner (available at an HVAC supplier- follow the instructions on back of spray) onto the
     coils. Let it set for a short while and then rinse it down thoroughly with the garden hose. 
3) Once a year, schedule a heating and air-conditioner professional to inspect your air-
     conditioner system. This will ensure that your system is operating properly.
