Cleaning the house is one of those necessary chores homeowners must do. But, cleaning and maintaining the air conditioner can pay huge dividends in the long run. The unit will run more smoothly and efficiently, saving money in energy costs and repair bills. Working with an AC company, Watkinsville homeowners can do 3 things to maintain their system. Change the Filter Changing the air filter is the best thing homeowners can do to maintain their system. As the air flows through the house, it picks up dust and dirt and carries it to the unit. Without the filter, all the dirt will settle on the coils. Dirty coils make it difficult to exchange the heat out of the air. It also makes the fan work harder to circulate the air. This will raise energy costs and wear the motor out faster. The Thermostat The brains of the air conditioner is the thermostat. It reads the current temperature in the house and tells the unit when it needs to start and stop. Older thermostats relied on a mercury tube to raise and lower a contact that started the unit. Today’s technologies are used for smart thermostats. These can adjust the temperature in the house based on whose home and what the outside temperature is. Homeowners should periodically check the thermostat to make sure it is reading the temperature correctly and is situated in the right part of the house. The Outside Unit There are two parts to an air conditioner, one inside and one out. The outside unit is exposed to all sorts of problems, from dirt and grass to baseballs and hail. Homeowners should clean the unit every month to allow the air to flow freely through the unit. Any bushes and trees should be kept a good distance away to allow good air flow. And, they should check the protective cage around the exterior coils to make sure it is in good shape. The inside unit is a little more sensitive and the maintenance should be handled by an AC company. Watkinsville homeowners can partner with a good company to keep their system running smoothly for many years.
