Your air conditioning system requires regular maintenance for it to function properly. Regular maintenance lowers your cooling bills, reduces the risk of breakdowns and prolongs your system’s life. Here are some AC maintenance tasks for homeowners in Jackson, MS:
Replace the Air Filter
The number one thing you can do to lengthen the lifespan of your air conditioner is to check and change the air filter regularly. You should check your filter once a month and replace it every 30 to 90 days. You may want to buy a pleated air filter, since they trap more small particles than traditional filters.
Keep Your Condenser Clean
The outdoor unit of your air conditioning system is called the condenser. Since it’s outside, it can collect dirt, leaves, dirt and other debris. Use a hose to gently spray if off when it’s dirty so it can operate as efficiently as possible.
Schedule Annual AC Maintenance
A professional tune your AC system up once a year to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. During a tuneup, the service technician will:
- Lubricate the condenser motor.
- Inspect and clean the condensate line.
- Wash the condenser coils.
