Your air conditioning is going to get a workout this summer in St. Albert and to keep it running well, there are some maintenance tasks you should be performing. With proper attention, your A/C will run more efficiently and keep you cool when you need it most. The following are some home A/C maintenance tips every homeowner should follow to keep their A/C unit in tip-top shape.
Dirty, clogged air filters are the worst and biggest culprits for causing your A/C to run inefficiently and fail to keep you and your home cool. Air filters should be changed or cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis to protect your A/C from breakdowns and to improve the efficiency by as much as 15%.
Your air conditioning system has two sets of coils; evaporator and condenser. Over time, both coil types collect dirt and grime from the air and when they aren't cleaned, they aren't able to perform their jobs. This can cause your A/C to work harder than it should, which shortens its lifespan and best case, will not cool sufficiently. Make sure to get the coils of your A/C cleaned if you notice that they're dirty.
Check the drain of your A/C unit and ensure it is free from dirt and debris. Check to be sure the hose is not clogged or deteriorated and if it is, have it cleaned out as soon as possible.
