Maintaining your air conditioner between services can help to maintain its energy efficiency and increase its lifespan.

Here are a few elements that should be regularly maintained.

1. Filters

Your air conditioning filters should be cleaned or replaced regularly. Ideally, this should be every month or two – or more often if you’re using your AC a lot.

2. Coils

Dirty condenser and evaporator coils can affect your air conditioner’s performance. These should be checked at least once a year and cleaned if necessary.

3. Condensate drains

Clogged condensate drains can make it difficult for your air conditioner to reduce humidity. You can dislodge any blockages throughout the year using a stiff wire.

4. Cover

During winter, you should cover the outdoor unit of your air conditioner to protect it from weather damage and debris.

Could it be time to service your air conditioning?
