Air Conditioning Maintenance Guide
Proper air conditioner maintenance or heat pump system will ensure that the equipment continues to provide the cooling or heating needed especially during summer or winter. Some of the steps that you can take are simple and do not require a service technician to do them. Equipping yourself with these simple technical knowledge will save you time and money in the long run.
Regular servicing and maintenance of your HVAC is important as it can:
Extend the life of your air conditioner and improve its heating/cooling performance
Improve the running efficiency to reduce energy consumption and cost
Improve air quality (our service includes an antibacterial spray, cleaned filters, and mould removal)
Reduce the likelihood of your air conditioner breaking down. Problems diagnosed and fixed earlier can save you a lot of money and it is cheaper to deal with minor issues than to deal with major breakdowns
Maintain installation and manufacturer warranties
Improperly maintained air-conditioner filters can result in a build-up of allergens such as fungi, pollen and bacteria in the air triggering:
Fatigue
Coughing & sore throat
Congestion & wheezing
Eye, nose & throat irritation
Asthma attacks
Flu-like illnesses.
Major health hazards can result when a home or office air conditioner is poorly maintained – decomposing animals and nasty bacteria can become hidden inside of the split-system air conditioning units.
Check the condenser
In a typical air conditioner, the condensing unit is usually located outside your house where the compressor, fan and the condensing coils are located. When cooling your house, this unit rejects heat to the surrounding by blowing the fan over the condensing coils. Make sure that there are no obstruction to the fan and air flow of the condenser.
Usually, you will find dried leaves, plastic bags and other unwanted materials stuck to the condenser especially if you have not been using it for a long time. If necessary, use a brush to remove them from the coils and ensure that the air can blow unobstructed from the condenser.
You do not have to cover up the unit when not in used as these units are robust enough to stand the harsh outside temperature of the house. Just ensure that the unit that you purchase conforms to the safety standards such as UL or CE Mark.
Remember to disconnect the power supply to the unit before cleaning the condenser.
Remember, if you don't want to tackle your own maintenance, there are various contractors who will handle it for you but it will be more costly.
Check and clean filters
Most indoor evaporator unit is fitted with removable filters that trapped dust to prevent dirt from clogging the coils of the evaporator. These filters are easily removed and wash with water and neutral soap to get rid of the dust. Rinse and dry before putting back to the unit. Do not use gasoline or chemical to clean the filter.
Do it at least once a month. Some units also come with electrostatic filters that act as a secondary filter system for the evaporator. Change them if they are dirty.
Check and clean evaporator
If the coils of the indoor evaporator are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or a wet cloth to clean them. Do it at least once a month or every 2 weeks depending on the frequency of use.
Keeping the evaporator clean will ensure that the cooling capacity of the air conditioner is not lost due to the dirt that obstruct the flow of air to the room.
