With the weather getting warmer and drier throughout Metro Vancouver, residents are ready to prepare their air conditioning services.
Summer is often a time of care-free adventure, but with the recent heat waves throughout British Columbia, it has also been a time of soaring temperatures, making your home uncomfortable.
Although many homeowners assume their air conditioning system will solve the summer heat issues, this is not always the case. Actually, many AC systems need constant cleaning and maintenance to work effectively.
So how do you prepare your air conditioning system for summer?
Replace Filters: A Must for Air Conditioning Services
The air inside and outside your home contains air-borne pollutants. These particles can be very harmful to the air conditioning unit or our lungs and removing them is crucial.
Therefore, an air conditioner filter plays a crucial role in filtering this bacterium out of the air, protecting an AC system, and creating healthier air throughout the home.
To ensure your air conditioner filter is working effectively, a technician should clean them every 30 days and replace them every 90 days.
Straighten Coil Fins
Outdoor air conditioning systems are exposed to elements including rain, wind, dirt, and other external factors. Over time these external factors can bend the coil fins, blocking airflow and rendering the air conditioner useless.
To remedy the issue, unscrew the front plate of your AC system and run the comb between the evaporator and condenser coil.
Schedule a Maintenance Appointment
If you do not have the tools or confidence to do these steps, contact a professional technician as soon as possible. Air conditioner maintenance is essential to the longevity of a system.
