These are five things you should check in your air conditioner: 
- Air Filters:
Why: Dirty or clogged air filters can restrict airflow, reducing the efficiency of your AC system and causing it to work harder.
What to do: Check and replace the air filters regularly, typically every 1-3 months, or more frequently if you have pets or if the system is used frequently.
- Thermostat Settings:
Why: Incorrect thermostat settings can lead to discomfort and inefficient operation of the air conditioner.
What to do: Ensure that the thermostat is set to the desired temperature. Consider using a programmable thermostat to optimize energy usage when you’re away.
- Condenser and Evaporator Coils:
Why: Over time, these coils can accumulate dirt, reducing their ability to absorb and release heat efficiently.
What to do: Schedule regular cleaning of the coils. Keep the area around the outdoor unit (condenser) clear of debris and vegetation.
- Refrigerant Levels:
Why: Insufficient or excessive refrigerant levels can affect the cooling efficiency and potentially damage the compressor.
What to do: If you suspect a refrigerant issue, consult a professional HVAC technician to check and adjust refrigerant levels.
- Condensate Drain:
Why: A clogged condensate drain can lead to water damage and humidity problems in your home.
What to do: Regularly inspect the condensate drain line for clogs and ensure it is draining properly. If you notice any issues, clean the drain or contact a professional for assistance.
In addition to these checks, it’s a good idea to schedule annual professional maintenance by a qualified HVAC technician. They can perform a more thorough inspection, identify potential problems, and ensure that your air conditioner operates at its best.
