MAINTAINING AIR CONDITIONER

 Regular maintenance of the air conditioner coils, fins and fingers are required for it to function efficiently and effectively. There are chances of the air conditioner’s performance declining if regular maintenance is neglected. 

1) Air conditioner filters

  The task of replacing or cleaning filters routinely will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner. Systems efficiency is significantly reduced when the normal airflow is blocked due to the dirty and clogged filters. 

Different types of filters are available with different efficiencies. Some filters are reusable whereas some must be replaced. 

2) Air conditioner coils

  As the air conditioner functions, its condenser and evaporator coil collects the dirt. The dirt reduces the airflow and thereby reducing the heat absorption capacity of the system which negatively affects the efficiency of the air conditioner. Soiling of the evaporator is prevented by a clean filter. 

3) Coil fins

  Airflow blockage can be caused due to the bent aluminum fins on the condenser and evaporator coils. Using a tool called fin comb can set these fins back to their original position and hence eliminating the airflow blockage.
