Most cooling systems require very little owner maintenance. However, operating a dirty unit can result in an unnecessary loss of efficiency and can damage the unit. Consumers don't generally realize they play a vital role in making sure their cooling systems operate at peak performance to maximize home comfort and savings.
Although it's best if a qualified service technician handles major maintenance tasks, service experts at Yost & Campbell offer tips to ensure a more comfortable home.
- Trim brush and shrubbery surrounding outdoor units to prevent airflow obstruction.
- Make sure the outdoor coil is free from grass clippings, leaves and other debris
- Make sure your indoor unit's filter and blower are clean.
- Keep in mind that a properly vented attic can reduce your system's cooling load.
Contact an experienced, reputable air-conditioning contractor to check your system's refrigerant charge and operating safety controls. That's the most effective step you can take to help ensure you'll get the efficiency you paid for.
