Maintaining
your air
conditioning (AC) system is a delicate, but very important, task. After
all, if your AC isn’t clean and well-kept, it will become less efficient at its
job and will consume more power as time passes. Of course, given that AC can be
rather complicated, you’ll need to find a reliable contractor who can help you
out—especially when it comes to cleaning your AC’s evaporator and condensing
unit.
If you
insist on doing things by yourself, you might want to start with the external
air filters as these are the easiest to clean. Inspect the filters and see to
it that they are free from dirt, grime, and blockage. However, it is still best
to leave the actual cleaning process in the capable hands of a trained
technician who not only knows what cleaning agents to use but also how to
properly remove the filters and the like.
The blowers
should be your next priority because they are likely to be filled with dust
after months of operation. Aside from regular cleaning, blowers should also be
lubricated periodically to keep them in good working order. If you know how to
take apart the blower assembly, you can do the cleaning and lubrication
yourself. Otherwise, hire a pro for the job.
One more
thing: see to it that the entire air conditioning system is unplugged from the power
source before any maintenance job commences.
