Introduction

• With summer knocking on the door, the time has
  come to get your air conditioner running again.
• But before you do so, its a good idea to spend
  some time getting the air conditioner unit up and
  ready. In fact, keeping a schedule for your AC
  units maintenance is probably one of the most
  rewarding household chores.
• Regular air conditioning maintenance pays off in
  two ways. While your AC runs smooth and keeps you
  cool without breaking down, it also saves you
  money on energy bills.
• Thats because when an AC is put through regular
  maintenance, its efficiency is kept high and in
  turn, it uses lesser energy.
• In keeping with that, here are five air
  conditioner maintenance tips that you can perform
  on your own.

Importance of Air Conditioning Preventive
Maintenance

• Regular maintenance of air conditioners increases
  their life by the order of a few years. When you
  combine that with the lowering of energy costs
  and an increase in reliability, it becomes
  apparent why regular maintenance of air
  conditioners is so important.
• A few of the tasks outlined below can be
  performed by homeowners on their own. However, if
  you feel uncomfortable with a task at any point,
  do not shy away from calling a professional air
  conditioner maintenance service.

Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips
1. Clear/replace air filter
One of the most important AC maintenance tasks is
to keep the air filter clean or replace it when
necessary. You can clean the filter if your AC
comes with the reusable kind and if not, just
replace it altogether. The frequency with which
you need to do this depends upon where you live.
2. Check all wiring
Before you perform this step, make sure to cut
power supply to the air conditioner. Now remove
your condensing units access panel and check if
there are any melted insulations or burned and
broken wires. Locate the contactor switch and
see if it shows too much pitting. If so, replace
it. Also, check for any loose electrical
connections throughout.

3. Check the thermostat
One of the most important items in any air
conditioner maintenance checklist, the thermostat
is used to maintain an ideal temperature in your
home. In case you are using an old-style
mechanical thermostat, know that investing in a
programmable thermostat is absolutely worth it.
4. Check the condensers fan
The fan of the condenser unit is very important
for its proper functioning. To check if its
working properly, turn off the power to your wall
mounted air conditioner and examine the fans
blades for any signs of chips or cracks.
5. Clean from the outside
Since a part of your air conditioner is left
exposed to outside elements, it tends to
accumulate a lot of debris like dirt, leaves,
dead insects and even grass clippings. If not
paid attention to, this build-up can reduce the
air conditioners capacity and decrease the air
flow.
