Air Conditioning Maintenance
Maintaining your 💨air conditioner is crucial if you want it to function properly. The first step is to locate your condenser unit, which is typically on a concrete slab just outside of the home. It looks like a big, boxy unit. This is the first component of your air conditioning system. The second component is the evaporator. It is not as easy to find as the condenser. The evaporator coil is mounted inside of your air conditioner’s main duct, usually right above the furnace.
In most homes, the 💨air conditioning system runs through the same ductwork that is used for heating. When you run the air conditioning, it relies on the same motor, ducts, and blower that your furnace uses to heat the house in the winter. When the air conditioner is running, the hot air trapped in your home circulates out by flowing through the return duct. The hot air arrives at the furnace and then the blower moves the air across that evaporator coil that is located in the main duct. The evaporator coil is cool and subsequently, it cools the air as it passes through. Then the cooled air travels back into the house through the ductwork. Read tips here…
If your air conditioner suddenly stops cooling effectively, there are several potential causes. The first thing to check is whether the air conditioner is running. If the unit seems to be running, but the house just isn’t cooling off, then your problem isn’t the air condition itself. Instead, you could have an issue in the ductwork or the distribution system.
When the 💨air conditioner isn’t running at all, you will need to call a professional at ️(800)657-0765. Even if you locate the condenser and evaporator on your own, you won’t be able to repair them independently. Both components are sealed and should only be adjusted by a professional to avoid damage.
To properly maintain your 💨air conditioner and keep your home cool all summer, make sure you have the unit inspected and maintained each year. Schedule an appointment with a professional air condition repair company at the end of the cold weather months so that your cooling unit will be ready to go on that first sweltering day of summer.
By taking time to maintain your air conditioner, you can have peace of mind that your home will cool properly throughout the summer. Don’t wait until your unit stops working to make the call. Be proactive and make yearly 💨air conditioner maintenance a priority.
