Take advantage of spring to service your air conditioning system. At Climco, we know from experience that it’s risky to wait until the arrival of sweltering summer heat to turn on your air conditioning unit. You could then discover a problem that will cause you a lot of headaches! For proper maintenance of your air conditioning units, follow these few tips.<\/p>\n
Cleaning your unit is essential to ensure its proper functioning, whether it has been used a few times or has remained inactive for several months. The first thing to check is your air conditioner’s filter. If it’s disposable, you’ll need to replace it with a new one. If your model uses a reusable filter, simply clean it thoroughly and let it dry completely before putting it back in place.
\nAlso, make sure your outdoor unit isn’t buried under debris or covered by a tarp that protected it from snow during the winter. Find out how to clean it by visiting our tips page!<\/p>\n
Consider having your air conditioning system professionally cleaned every two years. Offered by Climco, this service helps extend the life of your unit, checks if your warranty is still valid, and allows for the repair of any defective parts.<\/p>\n
Before turning on your air conditioning system, it’s important to close your air exchanger (if you have one) to prevent moisture from entering the room. Also, make sure your circuit breaker is switched on, as power outages caused by winter conditions may have tripped it. To be safe, simply switch the breaker off and then back on.<\/p>\n
Finally, replace the batteries in your remote control, if applicable, and test your unit for the first time when the outside temperature is between 15 and 20\u00b0C. Leave it running for at least 24 hours to confirm its effectiveness.<\/p>\n
