The first blistering summers day has arrived and you know in the back of your mind that you have neglected your air-conditioning unit for months. The last thing you expect to hear from your trusty air conditioning unit sounds like a family of rattle snakes having a party, but you do and then you realise your air conditioner has just taken its last breath and stops.
What have you done to deserve this? Maybe you neglected the unit over winter, well here are a few tips to avoid those rattle snakes having a party in your air conditioning unit this summer.
1. Regular Checks - The user manual, manufacturers website or even on the side of the unit would contain a few checks for you to perform to keep your unit running silky smooth. Make sure you do these before summer arrives so if you find any problems you can get it taken care of before the air conditioning repairs companies get busy during summer.
2. Filter Clean - An easy to do DIY maintenance by yourself. Most are easily removed so you can clean them or replace them. Checking you filter the first time may shock you how much hair and dust they pick up, especially if you have any pets. Cleaning your filters will also be beneficial to your respiratory system, especially if you have young kids.
3. Condenser Clean - This is the part of the unit that sits outside. Their roll is to kick out the hot and humid air and suck in nice clean fresh air that will keep your orange juice chilled while you watch a movie. It is vital that they are not blocked by objects. Remove all spider webs, tree branches and leaves from around the unit so they can do what they are designed to do.
Having an air conditioning unit making your home a summer oasis is useless if it does not get you through to the other side, so keep it healthy with some regular checkups. It will save you time, money and the mental exhaustion of having your soul melted from the sun when you could be sitting in air conditioning unit in complete comfort.
