Properly preparing an air conditioner before you store it away for a few months can mean the difference between it working well right away when hot weather returns or having it have problems on a hot sweltering day.…
Air filters protect an air conditioning system from dust and mold particles. However, their ability to protect the system from unwanted particles usually fades away with time. This is a problem since with the filter’s protective powers diminished, the system is usually left vulnerable to dust and mold invasion. This usually has the effect of not only reducing the quality of air that the air conditioner dumps into a home, but also affecting the functioning of parts of the air conditioning system.…
As an air conditioner’s refrigerant changes states – from a liquid to a gas – it usually produces a cooling effect that not only cools air, but also forces the moisture in the air to condense. This usually results in the presence of water in the evaporator coil area.
Air conditioners usually get rid of this water through the condensate drainage system. This is necessary so as to avoid the water flowing onto the base of the air conditioner’s housing unit – something that might cause premature rusting – or leaking out of the air conditioner and onto valuables such as furniture and paintings.…
