With flash flooding, hail as big as tennis balls, smoke haze, extreme heat and dusty red rain, our air conditioning systems were given a work out over the summer period.
You might have noticed that after these extreme events your air conditioning system is not working at it’s peak; maybe it’s not cooling fast enough, you can hear weird noises when it’s turned on or there’s an unpleasant smell coming from the inside unit. Getting the system up and running at its best is essential not only to prevent energy wastage but also to ensure further damage does not occur. Of course there’s also the important matter of keeping you and your family comfortable throughout the year.
What can I do to restore my air conditioner’s efficiency?
If you think damage has occurred there are several things you can do. These include:
How to care for your air conditioner?
The advantages of air conditioning include filtering out pollutants, reducing humidity and making the air cleaner for those who are asthmatic or prone to allergies. To enjoy these we need to take care of our existing systems or those that are to be installed. Not all maintenance for your air conditioning systems requires a professional but it is always best to get them to have a look. If you do want to complete some DIY maintenance always make sure that systems are unplugged before attempting anything.
Things you can do on your own include:
When doing your own maintenance don’t forget your outdoor unit, as it will bear the brunt of extreme weather. Here you can:
Combining the expertise of technicians along with some basic maintenance can help put your air conditioning systems back on track, ready for winter or the next round of extreme weather. If you’re not sure about doing any of the maintenance yourself it’s best to book a service; after all air conditioning units run on potentially hazardous systems such as gas and electricity. This is also why booking a service from your local technician is a great idea; it gives you peace of mind that your system isn’t just running smoothly but also safely.
It’s also helpful to engage technicians and ask advice as they may be able to show you how to clean that filter or what to avoid when cleaning the outside of your units.
Getting professional assistance is generally our first recommendation when dealing with a drop in system efficiency. It’s the most effective choice to engage someone who knows your system inside and out, someone who can look at every possibility and apply safe solutions, returning your home and system to a comfortable space.
