How to Clean Home Ac

AC Service

If you buy an AC, regular service is mandatory for maintaining it for a longer time. Let's discuss a few tips to keep your home AC clean all by yourself or you can say AC service in home:

Always trim any bushes or trees around your condensing unit as part of your air conditioning maintenance routine (outdoor air conditioning unit) and maintain a couple feet of clearance all around the unit. Most importantly, keep dogs away from your air conditioner as dogs have a tendency to make a mess of your air conditioning and can cause permanent damage. You can keep the outside air conditioner clean. You can vacuum out the inside of the unit and get all those leaves and stuff out. On most units you can gain access through the service panel. Make sure the power is off before opening the panel. Be careful not to cut out or knock off any wires and do not hit or damage the coil as you will cause permanent damage. Right after you close the access panel and close it with the screws and with the power still off, you can rinse off the condenser coil with the garden hose. Never ever use any chemicals or cleaners on your coil; always allow a trained technician clean your coil if it requires a chemical cleaning. Granted, this should be done every year at a minimum, if you condenser coil has never been cleaned then it is strongly recommended that you have a qualified technician come and clean your condenser coil with an appropriate chemical. After it is clean, if you rinse it every year and get the dust out your coil should stay in great condition.

Also check your condensate drain lines to make sure they are clean and flow water without backing up. All condensate drain lines should also have a trap and sometimes these will build up dirt and debris and require cleaning or replacing. Always be very careful not to touch your coils, damage can result on many model types. To remove debris from the coil uses the spray of the fresh water, if the debris does not come off call for a qualified technician.
