Why It’s Important to Maintain Your Air Conditioner
Your air conditioner is a major appliance that works overtime during the summer to keep you and your family comfortable. Because it works so hard, it’s important to give it a little TLC during the offseason to make sure it’s ready to go when you need it most and to ensure it lasts as long as possible. Here are five tips to maintain a healthy AC unit.
- Keep your filters clean
- Check your fins for bends and damage and repair if needed
- Check the condensate drain and clear any blockage
- Keep your condenser coils clean
- Call an air conditioner repair company for regular maintenance
By scheduling professional maintenance at least once a year, you ensure your AC unit provides you years of dependable service and operates at maximum efficiency.
