AC Maintenance FAQs
Should I be covering my air conditioner for the winter?
There have been many opinions on covering outside condensers leaving customers thoroughly confused. Varying temperatures and hot sun in the winter could cause condensation within the cover and the appliance. This condensation does cause problems with the “fins” in the condensing unit. A simple piece of plywood over the top of the unit will prevent ice buildup on the top of the unit and allow the “fins” to breathe within the condensing unit thus not restricting the air circulation.
How often should I replace or clean the air filters in my air conditioner?
Air filters should typically be checked every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage, indoor air quality, and the type of filter used. Dirty filters can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and lead to increased energy consumption.
What are the benefits of regular air conditioner maintenance?
Regular maintenance helps ensure that your air conditioner operates efficiently, extends its lifespan, reduces the likelihood of breakdowns, improves indoor air quality, and maintains optimal comfort levels in your home or business.
What maintenance tasks can I perform myself, and when should I call a professional?
Homeowners can perform basic maintenance tasks like cleaning or replacing air filters, clearing debris from the outdoor unit, and ensuring proper airflow around the system. However, it’s important to schedule professional maintenance annually to address more complex tasks and ensure the system’s overall health.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my air conditioner through maintenance?
Energy efficiency can be improved by keeping the air conditioner’s coils clean, ensuring proper airflow, sealing duct leaks, installing a programmable thermostat, and scheduling regular maintenance to optimize system performance.
What should I do if I notice a decline in cooling performance from my air conditioner?
If you notice reduced cooling performance, you should check for issues such as dirty air filters, blocked vents, refrigerant leaks, or malfunctioning components. If simple troubleshooting doesn’t resolve the problem, it’s best to contact a professional HVAC technician for a thorough inspection.
