In addition to regular maintenance, there are a few things homeowners can do to keep their air conditioning system running smoothly. One of the simplest things you can do is to regularly change your air filter. A dirty air filter can cause your AC unit to work harder than it needs to, which can lead to increased energy bills and reduced efficiency. Another task that homeowners can do themselves is to clean the condenser unit, which is the large outdoor unit that houses the compressor and condenser coils. Over time, dirt, leaves, and other debris can build up around the condenser unit, which can reduce airflow and make it harder for the unit to cool the air. To clean the condenser unit, you can use a wet dry vacuum to remove any debris that has built up around it. While regular maintenance and cleaning can help extend the life of your air conditioning unit, there may come a time when you need to call in the experts for air conditioner repairs.

One of the more complicated tasks that may require the help of a licensed technician is cleaning the evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is located inside the indoor unit and is responsible for absorbing heat from the air. Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate on the evaporator coil, which can reduce its efficiency and lead to poor cooling performance. To clean the evaporator coil, a technician will need to disassemble the indoor unit and use specialized cleaning solutions and tools to remove any dirt or debris.
