Prevent Damage to your Air Conditioner with Maintenance

There are always going to be some frustrating times when your air conditioner requires repair and knowing that you could have averted the problem will double the frustration. Hence in this article, we stress the idea of keeping your air conditioner in a tidy and well-maintained condition in order to minimize any future cost of repair.

Following are some common damages that occur in air conditioning units if they are handled with negligence and proper care is not made available for them.

1. Freezing of Evaporator Coils
One of the most common yet concerning problems that occur in an air conditioner is freezing in the evaporator coils. Even though freezing sounds as something super fantastic for an air conditioner it actually is not.
It is normal for the air conditioner to move hot air out of the house in order to pump in the cool air and it tends to decrease the temperature of a coil responsible for cooling the air. However, the problem occurs when the coils get cool to the extent that it starts freezing. A frozen coil will stop removing heat from the air and thus the performance of the air conditioner will definitely be harmed.
This issue can easily be resolved if you take proper care of your AC unit and keep constant checks regarding its maintenance. Glitches in the fan motor, lower levels of refrigerant and a muggy air filter are possible reasons for this problem.

2. Water Leaks
Air conditioners can sometimes cause some really disastrous water leaks which can damage many important parts of your house depending upon the placement of the indoor unit. So next time you see a water leak somewhere in the house stay alert as it is possible that it is not your common plumbing leak but a potential air conditioner problem.
Drainage is a routine task for an air conditioner, it carries the moisture that condensates on the inner coil to outdoors through a drainpipe. However, if there is some obstruction in the drain which does not allow it free passage to move the moisture outside then it is bound to leak. Just keep the drain clean to avoid this problem.

3. Untimely Wear and Tear
No air conditioner can work forever. With time they will require their share of attention. However, if you don’t maintain your air conditioner properly it is bound to develop problems earlier than expected.
If you calculate the expense of maintenance to the possible expense of repairs that your air conditioner can cost you without maintenance then you will find that maintenance at proper intervals is way cheaper and cost-effective.

In the End
Most of the problems that happen with our air conditioner should not require repair but only a maintenance inspection from a professional team of air conditioning repairers that can get rid of potential threats which may mar the performance of your air conditioner in the future and save you from expensive repair costs.
