To prevent problems with your air conditioning system, routine maintenance must be conducted in order to ensure the smooth running of your system. But what are these maintenance steps you need to take in order to ensure that your A.C runs smoothly?
First of all, cleaning the outer skin of the system will keep dust from collecting on the outside of it, and thus forth keeping the dust from collecting on the inside of the system. Setting up a schedule to do this will help you to keep the routine of doing so. Removing the cover grille will allow you easy access to the inside, so always make sure that the inside and outside of the grille is clear of debris.
Second, each air conditioning system has an air filter built within it, and these are interchangeable. Making sure that regularly checking and replacing these air filters if necessary will help in the smooth running of your system. If these filters are left unchecked, the air quality will become degraded and will make the motor work harder and harder to keep the air cool, eventually leading to a burnout.
Lastly, by keeping your system covered in the off-season will keep ice, snow, etc from building up on the exterior or on the inside of the system, preventing future problems to the motor, lines, and other essential parts. All in all, by regularly checking and replacing what’s needed on your air conditioning system will help prevent damage to your system and expensive solutions to fix those problems in the future.
