Simple Yet Effective Tips to Prolong The Life Of Your Air Conditioning System

The most common cause of a breakdown is because of a dirty filter!

As dirt accumulates on the filter, air can't pass, the motor then has to work harder, this can result in higher bills, costly repairs or even a replacement unit if it's older.\

Dirty filters affect the air quality, if any of your family suffer from allergies or asthma they can exacerbate the symptoms. If you have a pet, dander accumulates in the system and then spreads allergens throughout the house. Changing the filter regularly is simple yet effective

Did You Know?

During the hot humid summer months it is normal for your Air Conditioning system to drain up to 30 gallons of water outside of your house per day.

As your Air Conditioning is cooling your home it is also dehumidifying, humidity is the water vapor in the air, your Air Conditioning pulls the water out of the humid air and dispels it outside.

Some systems require the addition of an extra pump to help pump the water out, especially when there could be sediment in underground piping.

Why you shouldn't set your thermostat above 78 degrees

As previously mentioned your Air Conditioning cools and dehumidifies the air, setting your thermostat above 78 degrees may save energy as the system is running less but it won't be running enough to reduce the humidity.

Warm humid conditions are the breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Mold can cause damage to your home, your Air Conditioning system, particularly the coils and can cause serious health issues.

Mold spores can cause allergic reactions, coughing, throat irritation and upper respiratory symptoms.
