As a homeowner, your air conditioners system is one of the most important investments you'll make for your home—yet, it's also one of the most expensive, which is why it takes effort to protect it. Fortunately, even if you're new to air conditioning, there are plenty of ways to maintain your air conditioning system. Read on to learn five easy ways to maintain your air conditioner.

Regularly replacing the air filters in your air conditioning system is arguably the best way to maintain your air conditioner. Fortunately, it's also one of the easiest, and can be done in just a few minutes.

The job of an air filter is to stop particles like dander, dirt, and dust from seeping into the rooms of your home, but an air filter is only effective when it's clean and not clogged with excess particles. When an air filter is too dirty to work effectively, it not only puts too much pressure on your air conditioner, it also affects the air quality in your home.

Air conditioning coils are an important part of your air conditioning system, helping refrigerants absorb heat and cool your home. Over time, the coils become insulated from dirt, reducing the amount of heat they can absorb. Therefore, your air conditioning system has to work harder to cool your home.

To avoid unnecessary stress on the AC, it is important to keep the coil clean. There are many ways to do this, but we recommend first clearing the area around the condenser unit (outdoor assembly) of any debris.

Inside every air conditioning system are a condenser and an evaporator, each with fins. Over time, these fins can bend and cause insufficient airflow. To keep your air conditioner running efficiently, check the fins regularly to make sure they're not bent. If you notice a bend, you can buy a fin comb to fix the problem, or call a professional air conditioner technician for help.

A condensate drain is an integral part of any air conditioning system as it allows the condensate produced within the system to drain outside. Over time, the condensate drain can become clogged, preventing drainage.

To maintain your air conditioner and make sure it's running efficiently, regularly check that the condensate drain is draining properly - if you notice it's not draining properly, unblock the blockage or contact your local air conditioner company.

Keeping the air conditioner working properly is crucial, it determines whether you can have a comfortable living environment in the hot summer. If you have any questions about air conditioning, please contact us, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
