Even the most reliable air-conditioning system will let you down if you donāt maintain it.
Hereās how:
- Check and clean filters monthly.
- Clear debris and leaves from around the condenser coils
- Make sure hedges and plants are at least two feet away from the compressor.
- Check for blockages in the drainpipe.
- Check insulation around ducts. Bolstering insulation and sealing leaks can helpĀ prevent as much as a 40 percent energy loss.
- Every quarter, bring in a qualified professional to check items like refrigerant andĀ mechanical components.
