In order to service your air conditioning unit yourself, you will need:
Air conditioner maintenance is a completely straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps to look after your air conditioning system and promote its long term performance.
1. Switch the power off. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer or the air conditioning installer to switch the unit off from the mains.
2. Remove the cover. Take the cover off and dust off any excess debris. Next, plug in the vacuum cleaner and clean up the rest.
3. Clean the filter. Remove the filter and inspect it. If it appears damaged in any way, it will need replacing. However, most filters will just need a good clean with a damp cloth. This is one of the most important tasks in air conditioner servicing. Failure to do this may result in the growth of bacteria and fungi, which should not be inhaled. Keep your filter clean for optimum air quality, and make sure it is completely dry before re-inserting it in the unit.
4. Disinfect the coil. While the filter is drying, spray specialist evaporator coil disinfectant evenly across the top of the coil.
5. Reinsert the filter. Once the filter is completely dry, out it back in situ. At this point, check for any strange vibrations and call your installer if anything doesn’t look or sound right.
6. Enjoy cleaner air! Now that you have serviced your air conditioning unit, you can be confident that your air quality is improved and that you have enhanced the life expectancy of your system.
Air conditioning units are installed to help combat a range of health issues. To make sure your system stays as clean as it was when it was first installed, make sure you clean it at least once a year. This will save you on paying for a service as well and will enhance the performance and longevity of the machine.
