How can I get my air conditioner ready for spring? Of course, the last thing you want to happen in the middle of a hot Chandler spring is for your air conditioner to break down just when you need it most. The good news is that you may avoid that awful scenario by preparing your air conditioner today.
You can either contact your local Chandler AC Maintenance to save yourself the hassle, or you can go over the items below before your yearly inspection.
Chandler AC Maintenance Can Clean External AC Unit
Consider your air conditioner to be a heat soak, with the indoor unit absorbing heat from the air within your home and the outdoor unit transferring it to the outdoors.
Heat cannot escape freely if the outdoor unit is obstructed and dirty, forcing your system to work harder and eventually overheat.
We recommend cleaning your exterior unit before spring arrives to avoid high energy bills and a potentially costly repair.
How to clean your outside unit is as follows:
- Remove any heavy debris from the coils, such as sticks or leaves. Coils are the narrow fins that encircle the outside unit.
- Trim any shrubs within three feet of the unit. This provides enough “breathing room” for your outside unit to dissipate heat.
- Wash the outdoor unit with a garden water sprayer on the lowest setting if your coils are substantially dirty. Be cautious when using a high setting because the coils may be damaged.
Air Filters Need Cleaning or Replacing
Your air filter’s job is to trap dust and debris in the air, so they don’t get into your air conditioning system. However, dust and debris can clog the filter to the point where airflow is reduced, limiting the amount of heated air that the air conditioner can cool.
- Higher energy bills: If your air conditioner isn’t sucking in enough air, it will have to work harder to chill your home, resulting in more energy consumption.
- If warm air isn’t blowing over the evaporator coil, it can become icy and freeze, causing your air conditioner to break down.
To avoid these issues, make sure your air filter is clean and replace it if necessary. In addition, we recommend checking your filter once a month to ensure it isn’t blocked with dirt and debris during the spring.
