Summer Care Tips for Your Air Conditioner

Air conditionerOne thing we can always be sure to expect with the summer is heat and air conditioning. So it would be a good idea to find good AC service. Air conditioners tend to run every day in hot climates, so you need to be sure your unit is in top condition if you do live in one of these areas. Window air conditioning units should have their filters cleaned once every two weeks to a month. If you have a central air unit, its a good idea to keep it well maintained so that it will last you many years without needing a replacement. Make sure to keep the area around your condenser unit clear of any grass or leaves. You want no obstructions in the way of the unit to ensure that the fan gets the most air that it possibly can. Make sure that there is nothing blocking your system within two feet of every side of the condenser unit. Trane Air Conditioning systems installed by Champion AC come standard with indoor air quality systems. Cleaning your own AC unit is a good way to preserve its longevity. First, turn off the power to the air unit before you clean it. You can clean the condenser of your unit with a garden hose. Simply spray the condenser from the top down, making sure to wash away all dirt and debris out of the inside.
