Think the subject of maintaining air conditioners sounds as if it does not apply to you? Think again. If you care about operation or replacement costs, air conditioner maintenance is an important matter. Even if you don’t care to do the maintenance yourself, someone will need to. Maintaining an air conditioner properly helps with electric bills and makes the ac unit last longer.

After clearing up around the outside housing, cleaning the coils and possibly applying the fin comb, there are some things you can do inside your home to maintain your cooling system. Number one is the cleaning or replacement of the filters. Clean reusable filters, or replace if torn or damaged. Replace disposable filters on a regular schedule. This is the easiest way to save money and increase the life of your air conditioner.

Beyond home maintenance, it is good to call in a professional for a checkup once or twice a year. The qualified AC technician can detect problems before they cause a failure, and recommend any improvements needed to keep your air conditioner functioning properly.
