How to clean A/C Unit?

Air Conditioning Unit cleaning can be divided into two categories. One category is cleaning the air filter and the other one is cleaning the outdoor and indoor coils.  These two steps have to be carried out to complete the entire cleaning section. Of these two, air filter cleaning is the basic step and we can perform this task very easily.

Cleaning Air Filter

Air filter can be cleaned by removing the front panel of the air conditioner. The air filter helps in the air flow from Air Conditioning Unit to outside. This air filter is crucial in the circulation of cool air and if it is clogged with any dust particles, the cooling decreases. So it is important to clean the air filter.

After removing the front panel, the air filter should be cleaned by completely taking it out. The air filter is small window sized structure and it resembles a mesh with small holes. The dust particles will be accumulated in these small holes and they have to be cleaned by using an air filter brush. The air filter can also be washed by mild detergent and should be completely dried before connecting it to the Air Conditioner.

Cleaning the coils

The Air Conditioning Unit coils are of two types. They are indoor coils and outdoor coils. These coils are placed at both the interior and exterior of the compressor. These coils are very important in producing cool air. If the coils are clogged with dirt, then the air circulation will be affected badly. Hence these coils are to be cleaned by using mild brush. This cleaning process is not easy as cleaning air filter, but constant practice can help us.

Uses of Periodical Air Conditioning Unit Maintenance

If the Air Conditioning Unit is periodically maintained, the air filter and the coils will be free from any dirt. This will help for the free circulation of air. If an air filter or coils are clogged, then the performance of A/C decreases. The air cannot flow freely and as a result, the electricity required for the cooling process also increases. More work has to be done to produce the required cooling and hence the electricity usage will be increased. This will increase the monthly power bill. If the Air Conditioner is periodically maintained, there is no need for the compressor to use excess electricity for cooling purpose.

There are several health issues related to the dirty environment. We will inhale the air coming from the dirty air filter and coils, which will trigger asthma or bronchitis symptoms. A clean air filter does not induce these symptoms and is risk free.
These are the various benefits in maintaining the Air Conditioning Unit periodically.
