Here are some tips you can do to help maintain your air conditioner, but remember you still need to have your A/C checked by a HVAC Technician.

  • Ensure the filter is clean and/or replaced regularly. Disposable filters are inexpensive and should be replaced once per month during periods of high usage.
  • Trim back plants so there is at least one foot of clearance around the A/C unit - this will allow proper air flow and prevent motor strain.
  • Sand and other debris can get sucked into the condenser coils. To clean the coils, first disconnect the power to the A/C and then use a garden hose to spray the coils.
