Air Conditioning Plano

Routine maintenance on your air conditioning Plano unit is a wonderful thing. It truly can help keep your AC unit running smoothly and efficiently, keeping you and your family cool for years to come.

For best results, it’s wise to have an air conditioning Plano service professional check your unit periodically, at least once a year. The technician can check your air conditioner for wear and tear and prevent major breakdowns before they happen, saving you money.

There are many maintenance chores you can do yourself. For example, you should remove and rinse your unit’s filter at least once a month under lukewarm water. This keeps your AC unit running smoothly and it also reduces the amount of dust carried by the air through your home.

Your unit’s filters may be the type that need to be vacuumed (your air conditioning Plano service technician can tell you if you have this kind of air conditioner). If so, you’ll need to replace these types of filters every year.

Most central AC units are placed outside your home. If so, be sure to clear away any dirt, leaves, twigs and other debris that may collect there, especially after storms. In addition, every six months, remove your unit’s grill cover and wash down the fins — gently — with your garden hose.

If you live in colder climates that enjoy snow in the winter, be sure to keep your outdoor unit clear of snow drifts. Your AC unit can “suck in” snow, which may turn into ice. Aim to keep snow and ice at least three feet away from your unit.
