When it comes to Air Conditioner Maintenance, there are a few things you need to take note of. First, make sure the unit is turned off at the breaker box. You can also clean the condenser and its surrounding area by using a vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment. Remember to keep plants and other objects away from the unit. Finally, it is very important to regularly check the condenser fins. Over time, they can become clogged with debris and gunk. Use a knife to scrape away debris or bend them back into place.
The next step is to clean the evaporator drain. This can cause flooding or damage to your AC unit. You can use a fin tool to straighten the fins. Check the drain pipe and drain pan for rust or blockage. Clean the air filter and replace it if needed. If the filter is dirty or has become damaged, it should be replaced. Inspect the blower motor and replace it as necessary. The blower motor will also need to be checked and cleaned.
The next step is to check the drain line. It should be drained properly so that it does not overheat. If you see any clogs, you should clean them. You can use a vacuum to remove the debris or use a wet/dry vacuum to clean the fins. If the drainpipe is clogged, you can use a blunt object to push the clogs out and straighten them.
