Cleaning your air conditioner is a service that should be performed annually, according to most air conditioner manufacturers. An annual air conditioner checkup will prevent breakdowns, increase efficiency and extend the life of your air conditioner. In fact, some manufacturers even require an annual air conditioner cleaning as part of the air conditioner warranty maintenance!
Cleaning your air conditioner or maintaining your air conditioning unit can seem like an unnecessary and daunting task. After all, why fix something that isn’t broken? Why bother cleaning it if it can keep your home cool? In reality, regularly cleaning your air conditioning unit has many financial and health benefits for you and your family.
Protecting your health with air conditioning cleaning
As you use your air conditioning system throughout the season, dirt and debris accumulate inside the unit’s rooms and filters. These particles can be released into the air in your home, degrading your air quality.
When you have routine maintenance performed, the technician sterilizes the system so that the circulating air is clean and you can breathe more freely. This is especially important if you have a family member with asthma or allergies.
Better energy efficiency
Cleaning your air conditioning unit or performing regular maintenance on your air conditioning system will help it run more efficiently. Clogged air filters, clogged condenser coils and other problems mean the system has to work harder to do its job, which uses more energy.
An inefficient air conditioning system will increase your energy bill and leave a larger carbon footprint on the environment. Regular maintenance, on the other hand, will result in savings on your energy bill and your conscience.
Elimination of bad odors
If your air conditioner smells bad, it’s probably due to mold buildup in the unit. If you’ve noticed that the air in your air conditioner is starting to smell, this is the clearest sign that you need a chemical cleaning of your air conditioner. A cleaning of your air conditioner or a chemical wash will not only eliminate the foul odor, but will also prevent future problems with bacteria buildup from occurring again.
Stay comfortable
So far, we’ve talked mostly about the financial aspect, but your comfort matters too. That’s the reason you use your air conditioner in the first place. Without regular maintenance, your air conditioner is more likely to run erratically, cool your home slowly or even run into problems such as short circuiting, which is when your air conditioner constantly turns off and on because it can’t maintain the current temperature of your home.
