Make Your AC Summer-Ready

If you want your air conditioner to function well, especially during hot and humid summer days, you need to make sure that it is properly and regularly maintained. Just like the other electrical appliances that you use at home, air conditioners also need to be kept in good condition. This is to make sure that you get your money’s worth and that they serve you well and long. 

Here are some things you can do to make your AC summer-ready:

 

  • Clean the filters or have them replaced if necessary.
    It is important that you always check and clean your air conditioning unit’s filters on a regular basis. One thing that you must keep in mind, though, is that some air conditioning units come with disposable filters, while the others are with re-usable filters, which you can simply clean with water. You must never forget to check and clean or change your air conditioner’s filters at least once in every month, especially during summer, where your aircon works harder.
  • Free the condenser from debris.
    The condenser of your air conditioning unit must be free from anything that would clog it. That is why you should always check it for any dirt, falling leaves, or any yard debris. These rubbles can damage your air conditioner’s condenser and cause your air conditioning unit to work less efficiently.
