The earth is heating up and due to which there is a constant asymmetry in the climate. These adverse effects are something we now clearly feel as winters are getting colder and summer is getter hotter.  In this climatic turmoil, air conditioning plays a vital role in our lives.  Air conditioner needs different type of maintenance for its durability.  Here are few ways you could maintain your air conditioner

Clean you Air Filter

One of the most essential parts of an air conditioner is an air filter. When the filter is filled with dust, dirt, and allergen particles the air flow decreases. This makes the air conditioner work harder than it should. This is why air filter should be replaced every couple of months during maximum use.

Taking care of the Air Conditioner Coils

A clean air filter helps the coils from clogging with dirt and dust. These coils would get dirty in a month, and reduces airflow and insulates the coil. So make sure to clean the air conditioner coils regularly.

Check Condenser Unit Fan

First turn the power off to your air conditioner unit, and check the fan mounted on the top of the outside condenser unit. Replace the fan blades if there are any cracks or rusting in any of them. Also make sure to oil the bearings of the fan.

Check Everything Else

From the power supply to the coil fins, you should check them regularly. Small errors could bring huge difference in the working of an air conditioner.  Don’t be afraid to consult a professional as sometimes experts are the only solution.

Clean the Vents

Dusting the vents at least thrice a year is a must.  The ducts should also be cleaned thoroughly as this is one of the most important parts of an air conditioner.
