Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips for Southern New Jersey Homes
South Jersey is a very temperate place, and air conditioner maintenance can fall to the wayside. If you live in Southern New Jersey, the hot and humid Synner can put a strain on your AC unit. By following a few simple maintenance tips, you can help keep your AC unit running smoothly and efficiently all summer long.
The Dos & Don'ts
What To Do:
01
Check the Air Filter
The air filter is one of the most important parts of your AC unit. It helps to keep the air flowing freely through the unit and prevents dirt and debris from building up. You should check the air filter every month and replace it as needed.
02
Clean the Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is located outside of your home and helps to remove heat from the air. Over time, the condenser coil can become dirty and clogged, which can reduce the efficiency of your AC unit. You should clean the condenser coil at least once a year.
03
Inspect the Freon Levels
Freon is a refrigerant that helps to cool the air in your AC unit. If the Freon levels get too low, your AC unit will not be able to cool your home properly. You should have your Freon levels checked every two years.
What NOT To Do:
01
Don't Run Your AC Unit Too Much
Running your AC unit too much can put a strain on the unit and shorten its lifespan. If you can, try to keep the temperature in your home at a comfortable level without running the AC unit all the time.
02
Don't Ignore Warning Signs
If you notice any warning signs, such as strange noises or a decrease in airflow, don't ignore them. These signs could indicate a problem with your AC unit. Have the unit checked by a qualified technician as soon as possible.
03
Don't Wait Until It Fails
Not only will waiting too long put your discomfort front and center, it could end up being a big bill at the end if not managed proactively. Luckily in the worst case scenario, you have small companies like us at All-Zone to help!
