We strive to take care of our customers in Plano with air conditioning needs, which is why we have provided the following tips for fall air conditioning unit maintenance.
The season of falling leaves and cool weather (even in Plano) is just around the corner, and with it comes the task of "winterizing" your air conditioner. Checking now to ensure your Plano air conditioning unit will work in the spring should be your number one priority. Plano homeowners can do the following things to perform fall maintenance on their air conditioning units: 1) Some people intentionally cover their condenser to protect it from the elements during the winter, although these units require no protection since they are designed for outdoor installation. Covering it could cause moisture to build up inside and cause parts to rust. This could interfere with your systems performance when it comes time to start it up again. 2) Change the filters regularly. Dirty filters restrict air flow, reduce efficiency and worse case, can cause the evaporator to ice up. Disposable fiberglass filters should be replaced. Electrostatic or electronic filters need to be washed regularly.This is probably the most important fall air conditioning maintenance tip. 3) Be sure all access panels are secure, with all the screws in place. Clean obvious obstructions such as newspaper and leaves from around the exterior of the unit. 4) A thoroughly cleaned air conditioning unit will operate at top efficiency. However, do not use a hose and water to try to clean it themselves because of the very serious risk of electrical shock and possible shorting of electrical components. The best way to clean the outside unit is to gently wipe away any debris. You could use the soft brush part of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris that may have built up when the unit was in use. 5) Make sure there are no leaks in your system before retiring it for the winter. It is a good idea to hire a specialist for this type of fall air conditioning maintenance, just to be sure. You can call A#1 Air & Appliance in Plano to schedule a technician to check out your air conditioning unit. Taking care of your Plano air conditioning system now could save you money later. For the most part, getting your system ready for the winter is a do-it-yourself project. The best way to make sure you aren't going to do anything to harm the unit is to consult your manufacturers' guide if you are in doubt. It should have a toll free number you can call if there is a question that is not covered in the guide. To sum it up, performing easy fall maintenance on your air conditioning unit now can save you lots of money and will prepare your unit for Plano's winter season.
