6 Ways To Avoid Air Conditioner Repair

Mercury is on the rise and you have probably already turned on the air conditioner several times this season. Although the season has just begun, you may be worried that your AC won't make it until colder months without collapsing. While breakdowns can and do occur, there are several things you can do to ensure the best possible chance of making it through the summer without the need for repairs.

Here are six simple things you can do now to help get your cooling system working as it should all summer!

Do not postpone repairs

A little ice accumulates on the evaporator coil or an unusual sound when alternating current is used may not seem like a big problem. Even minor problems like these, however, could indicate that something is seriously wrong. To avoid breakdowns, schedule repairs as soon as you notice that something is wrong.

What maintenance does my air conditioner need?

Turn up the thermostat

By setting the thermostat to a higher temperature, the air conditioner will not have to work hard. Ideally, you should set the thermostat around 78 ° F during the day. For maximum benefit, invest in a programmable thermostat that allows you to turn up the temperature during the day and as you sleep and go when you're home and awake.

Replace the air filter

The air filters of the air conditioner must be replaced at least twice a year. Check your owner's manual for specific recommendations. If you smoke inside your home or have pets, you may want to replace the filter more frequently.

Use the "Fan only" mode

If your air conditioner has a "fan only" mode, use it to unload the unit compressor. The use of the fan only mode circulates air that is already conditioned throughout the house.

Keep the blinds closed during the day

If you don't keep your blinds or curtains closed during the day, the sun can really heat your home and force your cooling system to work harder. Keep them closed to help your home stay cool and give your air conditioner a break.

Check the insulation in your attic

The attic insulation helps keep the air fresh in the living areas of your home. If you don't have enough, your air conditioner may need to work harder to keep your home comfortable.

With a little TLC, your air conditioner should keep you and your family cool and comfortable throughout the summer.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve.

You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub.
