Summer Care Tips for Your Air Conditioner
Turning an air conditioning unit on is one of the simplest and uncomplicated electronic appliances operating methods. It’s just so easy that people sometimes forget how important its function really is. It is the middle of summer and you badly need your air conditioners to give the best cooling service it should; some even opt to have extra air conditioning installation just to get by the summer heat. Still, if you already have a unit at home that has undergone several weather conditions, it is most important that you check it before turning it on. Who knows? A family of small squirrels, bees or even a snake might have made a part of your aircon its home already.
If you have a window type air conditioner installation or something that is mounted on the wall, inspect for any physical damages such as flattened or deformed aluminum plates and coils. Though these are something that you should not be worrying about, a professional and reliable air conditioner repair man’s number should always be kept in handy incase a more serious defect comes along such as debris blocking the airflow and preventing the air con from functioning well. Air conditioning units consume a rather large amount of electricity than most appliances, so checking the wires and cords for scratches or damages is a must. Wires can easily be conked out by pets, weather, from being tangled in other furniture and others. A broken wire has to be replaced as it can overheat, spark and cause serious threats such as a fire.
When cleaning your aircon unit, use a normal hose that you use in the garden and not a high pressured one as similar to those in a car wash as it can smash fragile parts inside the system or worse- bring in water in places that shouldn’t be. Use a mild detergent and wipe it dry or use a vacuum cleaner to dust of remaining elements.
After checking, cleaning and replacing some parts on your unit, turn it on and wait for at least two minutes to see if it cools the room quietly. Drudging sounds are an indicator that there is something seriously wrong and your entire unit has to be replaced.
These electrical devices are many homes best friend and to keep it working well and serving you means constantly checking for things that it may need too. So return the favor and give it the care it deserves.
