Get Your AC Ready for Summer
June 14, 2023
As summer approaches, it is important to perform certain checks on the air conditioning system in order to ensure a cool and comfortable summer. Here are some inspections you should consider before the arrival of the summer season:
-
Clean and replace filters: Air conditioning filters accumulate dust and impurities, obstructing airflow and affecting cooling efficiency. Regularly cleaning or replacing the filters ensures good air quality and optimal cooling performance.
-
Clean condenser coils: Condenser coils are located in the outdoor unit and can accumulate dust, leaves, and other debris. Cleaning the condenser coils improves the efficiency of the system and ensures adequate cooling output.
-
Check refrigerant levels: Refrigerant is an essential component of the air conditioning system responsible for absorbing and releasing heat. Ensuring proper refrigerant levels, neither overcharged nor undercharged, is crucial for the system to function correctly.
-
Inspect electrical connections: Check the electrical connections of both the indoor and outdoor units to ensure that wires, plugs, and connectors are not damaged or loose. Ensuring the electrical system is safe and reliable.
-
Check the drainage pipe: The indoor unit of the air conditioning system generates condensate water. Ensure that the drainage pipe is clear and free from blockages to prevent water leakage or damage.
-
Test and calibrate the temperature controller: Ensure that the indoor temperature controller is functioning accurately to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and save energy.
-
Regular maintenance: If your air conditioning system has not been maintained for an extended period or if you encounter any issues, consider hiring professional technicians for system inspection and maintenance. Regular maintenance can extend the system's lifespan and reduce the risk of malfunctions.
Please note that these are general recommendations, and specific air conditioning system maintenance may vary depending on the brand, model, and installation environment. It is advisable to consult the user manual of your air conditioning system or seek advice from professional technicians for specific maintenance guidelines tailored to your system.
