Checking out your central air conditioning unit and preparing the unit for heavy duty use now will not only save on energy costs but will up your chances of staying cool all summer and avoiding an emergency service call. Air conditioning experts suggest these routine tips for ensuring trouble-free performance: • TURN OFF POWER TO THE UNIT: Turn off the switch and unplug the unit to allow for safe handling. • CLEAN OR REPLACE THE AIR FILTER: Dirty, clogged filters severely limit your AC’s efficiency by decreasing your system’s airflow. Additionally, when a filter is clogged, air can bypass the filter allowing unfiltered air to flow throughout your HVAC system, potentially damaging the evaporator coil in the process. • CLEAN THE COILS: Remove the front cover of the A/C unit outdoors. Use a garden hose with a spray nozzle to clear away any dirt and debris. Use a soft rag to dry the coils. • CHECK THE COILS FINS: Inspect the coils for any damage and use a fin comb or gentle manipulation to straighten out any coils that may be bent. • CLEAN AREA AROUND THE UNIT: Rake back leaves and debris outside the unit and cut back branches and vegetation at least two feet in all directions to ensure proper airflow around the unit. • LEVEL THE UNIT: Over time, the pad where the unit sits can begin to tip, an out-of-level condenser unit can cause the compressor to fail early.
