Air conditioning is a common household appliance, and the maintenance it requires is no different from that of other appliances. However, there are some precautions that you should take to protect your unit from damage or breakdown.

The first step to maintaining your air conditioner is to make sure it’s working properly. If you notice any malfunctions or issues with the unit, contact a professional technician such as LK Brothers immediately so they can take a look at it and make sure everything is working properly.

Once you have identified any problems with your unit, there are several things you can do to prevent them from happening again in the future:

  • Allow the unit to cool down before unplugging. This prevents condensation build-up on coils and fins which could cause rusting and corrosion.
  • Check valves for obstructions or leaks before turning on the unit again after it has been turned off due to malfunctioning equipment or maintenance work being done on it. If you want to buy air conditioning for your home contacts us.
  • Clean coils regularly using a soft-bristle brush along with a degreasing solution such as denatured alcohol or trichloroethylene (TCE) whenever necessary.

Clean the air filter regularly. The air filter is located at the top of the furnace and looks like a round box with small holes in it. You will need to remove this filter if you want to clean it out regularly. To do this, simply turn off power to your system and then unscrew the cap on top of the filter where it connects to the furnace.

Once removed, soak up any excess moisture with paper towels or newsprint before replacing the cap back on top. It’s best to clean out your filters every month or so during warm months as this will help prevent dust build-up inside your system which can cause problems down the road such as reduced performance, high energy bills and even damage to your home if left unchecked for too long!

Check for clogs regularly! If you notice that there are any clogs in your system, make sure that you try and clear them out yourself using an auger that can be found at most hardware stores or home improvement stores.

If you want to lower your electric bill but don’t want to spend money on a new unit, consider installing solar panels on your roof or adding extra insulation to your home. If these options are out of reach financially or logistically (for example, if you live in an apartment), check with local governments for rebates or tax credits that might help offset some of the cost of installing solar panels or insulation material.
