Basic Air Condition Maintenance Tips

Everyone who uses air conditioner in home should know about the basic maintenance operation to save money.It is not at all a difficult task.Bellow i am mentioning three basic air conditioner maintenance tips.

Checking the air filter:
Each air filter has an average life of three or four months.But in summer season it become even lower than three months.During summer season the air conditioner removes more heat than winter season.Furthermore it takes more air from outside through the air filter.That's why many unwanted air particle clogs the air filter rapidly during summer season.For checking whether your filter is clogged or not you just put the air filter opposite to a light and look through the air filter.If you can see the light clearly then you don't need to change the air filter but if you can't see the light clearly then you have to change the air filter.

Checking the outdoor unit:
Before cleaning the outdoor unit at first you have to turn off the thermostat for safety.If all the switch are turned off then you go ahead to work.During summer season more air is pushed through the fin.So many dirt particle clogs the fin.Moreover many grass, small plants and other debris may grow on the top or sides of the air conditioner.Clean this all debris to work your air conditioner more efficiently.

Checking the drain:
The drain is actually originated from condensate coil and ends to the floor drain.Water from the cooling coil gets accumulated and needs to be cleaned by draining them properly.Clogs are created by many bacterial slime.You need to clean that condensate water properly for the efficient working of your air conditioner.
