Basic air conditioner maintenance can help to keep your unit operating as long as possible, and can save money on often costly repairs. One simple thing is to be alert for any unusual smells or noises coming from your unit; either can be a sign of a malfunction. Another simple, yet often overlooked step is to regularly replace your air filter; most experts recommend doing this about every three months. A pleated filter generally traps more debris, is more efficient and can lead to a healthier home environment. You can ensure an outdoor unit lasts as long as possible and cools efficiently by clearing debris from around the unit, such as plants, weeds, and other obstructions. You can also benefit from a more efficient unit by gently cleaning the condenser coils every so often, by hosing down the exterior of your unit.
