The Benefits of AC Maintenance

Air conditioning maintenance services involve a series of routine inspections and tasks performed on your AC system to keep it operating efficiently and effectively. These tasks include things like checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, and lubricating any moving parts. 

The importance of AC maintenance cannot be overstated. Scheduling regular maintenance services can:

  • Improve energy efficiency: Maintaining your AC system helps keep all components clean, well-lubricated, and functioning correctly, which can reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills. 
  • Extend your system’s lifespan: Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs and replacements by addressing minor issues before they become major problems. 
  • Enhance indoor air quality: A well-maintained air conditioning system helps remove dust, pollen, and other contaminants from the air, contributing to a healthier living environment. 
  • Promote consistent cooling performance: Routine check-ups and servicing help your AC system perform reliably throughout the year, even during peak summer months. 
  • Provide cost savings: Proactive maintenance can lead to savings over time by reducing the likelihood of expensive repairs and improving energy efficiency. 
  • Offer peace of mind regarding safety: Regular inspections allow technicians to identify and address potential safety hazards, such as faulty wiring or refrigerant leaks.

How to Change or Clean Your AC Filter

Proper maintenance of your air conditioning system includes regularly changing or cleaning the AC filter. This simple yet crucial task not only enhances the performance and efficiency of your system but also improves indoor air quality. 

Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your AC Filter

  1. Turn off your AC system: Before starting any maintenance task, make sure the unit is turned off. This is a vital safety step to prevent accidents and ensure you can work without any interruptions. 
  2. Locate the filter: The filter is usually located near the return air duct or the air handler unit. Some systems have filters behind the return air grille, while others are in the air handler. 
  3. Remove the filter: Carefully slide the filter out from its housing. Take note of the filter's orientation so you can replace it correctly. 
  4. Inspect the filter: Check the filter for a buildup of dirt and debris. Disposable filters should be replaced rather than cleaned. 
  5. Replace with a new filter (for disposable filters): Insert a new filter of the same size and type, ensuring it is oriented in the correct direction as noted earlier. Most filters have arrows indicating the direction of airflow.

Cleaning a Reusable Filter

  1. Vacuum: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove loose dirt and debris from the filter surface.
  2. Wash: If the filter is washable, rinse it under lukewarm running water. Avoid using strong detergents or high-pressure water, as this can damage the filter material.
  3. Dry: Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it. A damp filter can lead to mould growth and reduce system efficiency.
  4. Reinstall the filter: Once the filter is completely dry, slide it back into place, making sure it is correctly oriented as per the markings.
  5. Turn on your AC system: Turn the AC unit back on and enjoy!

When to Change or Clean Your AC Filter

How often you should change or clean your AC filter depends on several factors, including the type of filter you use, the weather, and how often you use your AC system. 

Here are some general guidelines:

  • Disposable filters: Typically need to be replaced every 1-3 months.
  • Reusable filters: Should be cleaned at least every month during peak use periods.

Regular filter maintenance not only optimizes your AC system's performance but also fosters a healthier indoor environment by reducing dust, allergens, and other pollutants. We recommend setting a reminder to check your filter regularly and schedule maintenance to keep your system operating optimally.
