10 Spring Aircon Maintenance Tips
Aircon maintenance is extremely important in ensuring your unit is happy and healthy. Spring is set from March through June, when the days get longer and the temperatures become warmer. However, there’s still a chance of rain and cold weather, so your air conditioning may be used for both cooling and heating purposes.
In this article, we will discuss the 10 most important aircon cleaning and maintenance tips for spring. We’ll also answer the common questions, ‘how often should air conditioning units be serviced?’ and ‘how often should I change my aircon filters?’
Our Spring Maintenance Tips:
- Check your filters every month
- Change your filters every one to three months
- Check the cooling and heating functions (if not used during winter)
- Clear the condensate drain once the weather gets warmer (to ensure there is no ice)
- Clean the debris every month
- Ensure there are no leaks or damage
- Get bespoke spring aircon cleaning and maintenance advice from a professional
- Have the compressor fins, coils, air condenser and ducts cleaned during the service
- Service your air conditioner at the start of spring
- Set to the right temperature for spring (higher during the day and lower at night)
Winter can have an adverse effect on air conditioning systems, so they must be checked before using on a regular basis.
How Often Should Air Conditioning Units Be Serviced?
Typically, your air conditioning unit should be serviced at least once a year, but we recommend every six months for guaranteed safety. However, if you start experiencing problems, you must contact an aircon specialist immediately.
How Often Should I Change My Aircon Filters?
When temperatures start to rise, your unit may accumulate more dirt than in colder weather. Because of this, it’s incredibly important to check and change your filters every one to three months, depending on the debris.
It’s quick and easy to check them, and not doing so can cause problems with your unit, such as inefficient cooling or heating. In the worst case scenario, an electrical fire.
