Keeping your home cool in the summer is a lot easier if you have a properly working air conditioner. However, that would involve a couple of things like getting the right AC unit, maintaining your AC unit, or
air conditioning repair if you have an older unit that’s already in use. There are a number of ways on how to keep our AC unit it top shape. It’s not quite as hard as you might have initially thought. Repairs, however, might be tricky. But for the most part, basic use and maintenance would suffice to keep your AC running properly. Here are some tips on how you can do so:
Understanding the different types of AC units
As you may have already known by now, air conditioning units come in all shapes and sizes. First of all, you need to get an AC unit. But before that, you should know what you’re going to buy. There are tons of different options out there and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Let’s check out the different types:
Window type AC units
Portable AC units
Split type AC units
Central air conditioning systems.
Do take note that some
AC systems work best in certain scenarios. Do your research beforehand to see which type if best suited for the environment you’re planning on installing the unit.
How AC units work
AC units basically takes away the heat from inside a room and dumps it outside. This is done through a system that includes refrigerant, a compressor, condensers, evaporator coils, and expansion valve. These components are present in all AC units, but may vary in size and design.
How to maintain window type AC units
Some HVAC systems involve
heating and cooling within the entire house. Maintaining HVAC systems work in a similar way, but might be more difficult to do. Maintaining window type AC units, on the other hand, is a lot simpler. All you have to do is regularly clean the filters and occasionally wash away the dirt from the condensers and evaporator coils.
How to repair window AC units
Most wall mounted have similar issues that you might encounter in the long run and especially for older AC units. In cases where the compressor won’t turn on, the unit not turning on, or the unit not cooling, you should call in a professional to have a look at it and do the

Keep your home cool with proper maintenance
Air conditioning units have filters that are used to sift the air and catching dust in the process. When the filters get too dirty, it gets clogged up and your AC unit will struggle to suck in air and maintain the temperature in the room. To keep your home cool, clean the filter at least once every two weeks. For the condensers and evaporator coils, you could have periodic cleaning anywhere from 3-6 months depending on your location. Clean coils mean more efficient heat transfer and better cooling.
