Like any other refrigeration system or HVAC system, regular cleaning of your A/C is necessary and highly recommended.
Cleaning your Air Conditioner should be a vital part of your cooler maintenance plan – it will save you lots of headaches!
A dirty coil on the inside of the cooler can create many unintended issues – freezing, high temperatures, high humidity, etc. Ensure that you have a scheduled maintenance plan in place for cleaning the inside coil of your A/C. Recommended to be done at least once a month.
Dirty outside coils, motors, and other outside components of your A/C can lead to premature failure, overheated compressor, loss of efficiency, poor cooling performance, poor ventilation and all sorts of unintended problems. Ensure that you have a scheduled maintenance plan in place for cleaning the outside coil and outside components of your A/C. Recommended to be done at least once a year*
*There are many videos available on “YouTube” explaining how to do a deep cleaning of a window A/C (typically by removing it from the wall and placing it on a working bench). Caution should always be used when cleaning A/Cs as to not splash any water in its electronic components or use the wrong type of cleaners. Use common sense! If using a professional Coil Cleaner -available at most hardware stores- please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
