Air Conditioner Ideas that Keeps Repairman Away

Regular maintenance is necessary for an air
conditioner to work effectively and efficiently
over its many years of service. In order to
maintain a consistent level of air conditioning
performance, it is important to not neglect
necessary maintenance. However, energy
consumption will continue to rise.

Air Conditioner Filters

• Central air conditioners have filters located
  along the length of the return duct. Common
  locations for filters are in walls, ceilings, or
  the air conditioner. The filter is located in the
  grill and faces the room.
• Some filters can be reused while others need to
  be replaced. There are many types available and
  they can be used in different ways. Your window
  air conditioner filter(s) should be changed or
  cleaned every other month during the cooling
  season. If your air conditioner is used
  constantly, is exposed to dusty conditions or if
  you have fur-bearing animals in the home, filters
  may require more frequent attention.

Dirty AC

• Over the years, dirt builds up on the condenser
  and evaporator coils of an air conditioner. The
  evaporator coil will not become soiled quickly if
  it has a clean filter. However, dirt will
  eventually build up on the evaporator coil. The
  dirt can reduce airflow and insulate the coil,
  which will decrease its ability to absorb heat.
  This problem can be avoided by checking your
  evaporator coil once a year and cleaning it as
  needed.
• If the outside environment is dusty, or there is
  vegetation nearby, outdoor condenser coils may
  also get very dirty. It is easy to see the
  condenser coil, and you can notice dirt on its
  fins.

• Coils
• Aluminum fins found on condenser and evaporator
  coils can be bent easily and block airflow. A
  "fincomb", a tool that can be used to comb the
  fins back to their original condition, is
  available from wholesalers of air conditioning.

• Condensate Drains
• Pass a stiff wire occasionally through the drain
  channels of your unit. A blocked drain channel
  can prevent the unit from reducing humidity. The
  resulting excessive moisture could cause damage
  to walls and carpet.
