Tips to Extend the Life of Your Air Conditioning System
Heat waves in the UAE can be severe, and these conditions necessitate a wall-mounted air conditioner. This piece of equipment is not a choice but an inevitability in such seasons, as it is your best friend for daily comfort. That is why it is also imperative that you take appropriate steps to maintain your air conditioner to ensure optimal performance throughout the summer.
Know your air conditioner
To implement the right maintenance measures, you must first understand your air conditioning equipment. Learn how it operates, including its feature inverter technology that adjusts power according to ambient temperatures. This is what reduces premature wear and tear in your AC.
Tips for protecting your air conditioner
There are certain behaviours you must adopt in order to preserve your unit’s integrity during extreme heat.
- Use optimal temperature settings between 23°C and 25°C for energy efficiency and comfort. This reduces frequent starting cycles and unnecessary strain on your unit.
- Change or clean your air filters frequently. With a clogged air filter, the system has to work harder to deliver cool air, significantly reducing efficiency. You must check the filters monthly and replace them every 1-3 months, depending on usage. If you have pets, then frequent changes are inevitable.
- Your outdoor unit is prone to accumulating debris, dust, and other materials that stop smooth airflow. Clean it regularly. Additionally, ensure there is at least a two-foot distance around it.
- Before the summer and heat set in, schedule a preventive inspection. Call specialised technicians to inspect the unit and identify potential issues that could cause it to break down. These could be blockages in the drainage system or refrigerant leaks, which can be rectified before you fully begin using the air conditioning for the summer.
