The document outlines 9 steps for maintaining an air conditioner: 1) change filters monthly or clean washable filters, 2) fix any AC leaks, 3) use a programmable thermostat, 4) insulate ducts, 5) service the compressor and condenser annually, 6) keep the AC unit cool, 7) perform annual maintenance beyond just cleaning filters, 8) ensure proper airflow, and 9) upgrade for higher efficiency if needed. Preventative maintenance of air conditioners can save money on electricity costs and keep air flow optimal.

Maintenance: To maintain an air conditioner,
you need to follow 9 steps: 1) Change Your Filters
The filters of each air conditioner
must be changed every month. If it has the washable type, it only requires cleaning 2) Fix AC leaks To ensure that there is no type of leak, we can use the old "smoke" trick . 3) Use a timer
Install a programmable thermostat
that allows you to set higher temperatures when you're away and cooler temperatures when you're home. 4) Insulate to keep Air Cool
Ducts in hot attics or crawl spaces
should be wrapped to keep the airwithin them cool. You can use spray foam, batt insulation, or rigid- foaminsulation. 5) Service your compressor or condenser It works best when it is free, so remove all obstacles around it. 6) Keep your AC unit cool
Consider running the air
conditioner in conjunction with floor or ceiling fans to circulate cold air more effectively. 7) Perform annual AC maintenance The dealer who installed your central AC (or one you find locally)should put you on a yearly cleaning schedule that goes beyond justcleaning the filters Schedule this checkup before the cooling season starts and make sureit includes the following tasks: 8) Get airflow As a recommendation to obtain greater air flow, it is better to keep the doors ajar. 9) Upgrade for efficiency Federal laws require AC units tobe a lot more efficient than theywere just 10 years ago. Forcentral AC, look for the seasonalenergy-efficiency ratio, or SEER;for window units, the measure issimply called the energy-efficiency ratio, or EER. CONCLUSION: Preventive maintenance of our air conditioning saves us money based on electricity costs and the air flow will be in optimal conditions.
