Regular maintenance of air conditioners is essential during usage. Maintenance increases the lifespan of the air conditioner, saves costs, and detects potential malfunctions early for replacement or repair.
No need to spend money hiring technicians, users can maintain air conditioners themselves
Proper maintenance of air conditioners is crucial for clean air filtration and extending the lifespan of the unit. Regular maintenance ensures cleaner air by removing dust and bacteria from the evaporator coil.
Maintenance helps air conditioners last longer by cleaning dirt, reducing energy consumption, and facilitating early detection of faulty components for replacement.
Users can also perform air conditioner maintenance at home without spending money on hiring technicians.
When maintaining air conditioners, users need to prepare tools such as: High-pressure pump with high-pressure water hose system for deep cleaning; spray bottle containing cleaning solution used to remove dust, bacteria on the evaporator coil; screwdriver and other household tools; clean cloth or towel to prevent water from affecting electronic circuits, large plastic bags (or convenient raincoats); vacuum cleaner (if available).
The steps for users to perform air conditioner maintenance at home are as follows: First, users need to turn off the air conditioner and cut off all power sources to ensure safety. After turning off the machine, wait for more than 2 minutes before proceeding to turn on the machine and perform air conditioner maintenance. Next, check to see how much gas is left, if it is low, it must be replaced to help the machine cool better. Also, check the gas line, especially at the connections, to avoid gas leaks.
After that, open the machine cover and inspect the internal devices, components for any errors. Electric motors, pressure pumps,... show any signs of damage. If so, users should call technicians to replace them.
The next step, users need to clean the evaporator coil. Use a cleaning solution to remove dust, bacteria,... in the crevices inside the evaporator coil. Also, make sure that there is no dirt or obstruction around the air outlet. Remember to check the excess water drain pipe. Then, clean the fan blades. The fan blades are prone to dirt buildup. Before cleaning the fan blades, you should secure them and then dry them. After that, use a specialized cleaning solution to remove dust and bacteria on the fan blades. Next, clean the condenser coil by removing the condenser cover, using a small pressure pump to spray water in a jet form into the slots of the heat sink to clean off dirt, insects,... Also pay attention to observe whether the condenser is properly shielded, the ground wire is intact,... Clean the air filter and machine cover by removing the air filter and washing it with warm water about 30°C. Then let it drain or use a clean cloth to dry. Also, use a cloth with moderate temperature to wipe the machine cover to keep it clean.
The final step, after reinstalling all the devices, you should check the power source, electrical wires, and outlets around to see if they are loose or exposed. Then turn on the machine and check if it runs smoothly. Your machine maintenance process ends here.
So, with just the above steps, you can perform air conditioner maintenance at home without the need for air conditioner repairmen and save costs.
