With the sun right overhead in summers,
it seems almost impossible to do without an
Orlando air conditioning unit.
You spend a huge amount on the Orlando air conditioner to make yourself
comfortable during summers but little problems with the unit such as
clogged air filters, noise emanating from the unit, improper cooling
and so on add to your inconvenience and pose a demand for Orlando
ac repair. Ac repair in
Orlando can be a costly
affair. So, why not learn to do some small repairs on your own and
minimize the maintenance cost on your ac unit. Let us see what can be
done when an air conditioner filter gets clogged. All you need is
warm soapy water or chemical cleaner, protective gloves, a
replacement filter and dusk mask. One of the most important parts of
an air conditioning system is its filter.
If the filter gets clogged
it needs to be cleaned or replaced because it interferes with the
performance of the ac unit.Before removing
the filter from the system, put on the gloves and protective masks.
Remove the access hatch and carefully remove the filter and inspect
it. If the filter is severely clogged, it is advisable to replace it.
The outside unit also needs to be maintained. Free it from the grass
and debris and then vacuum the thins to remove dust to ensure that
the outside unit is clean. The filter can be simply washed in soapy
water and allowed to dry if it is a window filter. Before returning
to the unit, make sure that the filter is completely dry. Chemical
cleaners can be used to clean large outdoor conventional filters. It
is advisable to replace them since they tend not to be as effective
after use. Now, it is time to replace the filter if it still is not
suitable enough to serve the purpose. Whether the filter has been
replaced or cleaned, the access hatch should be shut and tidied up.
Mesh filters need to be replaced. Regular monthly maintenance on air
conditioning systems helps in improving their performance and cutting
down on power consumption.
