One of the most critical & expensive items in your home is your air conditioner. It is hard to imagine our lives without these in our automobiles, offices, and homes. We must do everything possible to ensure that our air conditioners survive a long time and work efficiently. There are things you need to do, but what SHOULDN\'T you do?
Neglecting routine maintenance
When your air conditioner is running smoothly and not causing any problems, you may believe no need to schedule frequent air conditioner servicing. We, on the other hand, strongly disagree. The actual purpose of planning a room air conditioner service is to avoid future problems. Regular maintenance increases the likelihood that your air conditioner will last a long time and remain energy-efficient.
Incorrectly replacing filters
Often, new air conditioner owners replace air filters incorrectly, causing problems with their unit. If you\'ve never changed the air filter before, read the user handbook and follow all directions. If you mix or replace filters incorrectly, your air conditioner will break down. You may have to pay more for air conditioner repair.
Self-Repairing air conditioner
Do you repair electronic gadgets at home when they aren\'t operating smoothly or make a lot of noise? Remember that your inverter split ac is not the same as those small appliances at home. Opening the air conditioner could cause a variety of problems, including system disruption. Because air conditioner problems might be tricky at times, we recommend that you leave them to a professional.
Planting within two feet of your condenser is not a good idea.
Blocked airflow is detrimental to the efficiency of your inverter split ac. Always leave enough space between your condenser and your plants.
Never utilize registers, vents, or doors to control the temperature in individual rooms.
Your room air conditioner can cool a certain area. Consider a zoning system if you want control over certain rooms.
Never open the window when AC is on.
For best effectiveness, central air conditioners function with all windows and doors closed, and the home must be air sealed. Otherwise, you\'ll be squandering energy and making the air conditioner work more.
Overlook frayed electric wiring
During preventative maintenance visits, have your HVAC technician inspect the wiring. It should get replaced if it is frayed or old, as frayed or old wires can cause fires. Don\'t neglect frayed electric wiring.
Never leave dampers on while the a/c is ON.
Some homeowners believe that not air cooling rooms save money on electricity. But it causes negative pressure, causing the air conditioner to function inefficiently. It can also put a strain on the equipment, causing it to break down more frequently.
Never adjust the thermostat multiple times.
It\'s critical to get your thermostat set rightly because it controls the temperature in your home. However, if you continually make adjustments, your AC will work harder and consume more energy.
You don\'t have any curtains or blinds.
The nemesis of your room\'s air conditioner is direct sunshine. You may protect your room from the sun\'s heat by closing blinds and moving drapes to block the sun\'s rays.
