As a home owner it is important that you maintain your air conditioner, here are a few things you can do to ensure years of trouble free service.
- Run your air conditioner for a few minutes before the air conditioner season starts (sometime in late April, early May in Toronto). this will ensure if its broken on the first hot day your not on a waiting list, sweltering sometimes for days before an air conditioning specialist can come to fix it.
- Change the filters regularly. Dirty filters restrict air flow, reducing efficiency and in a worse case scenario, can cause the evaporator to ice up. Disposable fiberglass filters should replaced. Electrostatic or electronic filters need to be washed regularly. Toronto or surrounding area doesn’t posses the most polluted air but its high enough to justify home air filtration.
- Be sure all access panels are secure, with all the screws and latches in place.
- Clean obvious obstructions such as newspaper, leaves, etc. from around the exterior of the unit.
- Be sure the thermostat is set in the cooling mode. Just setting the dial below room temperature will not activate the air conditioning if it is set in the heat mode.
