Keep Air Conditioning Coils Clean And Running Efficiently

The vents and switches on air conditioning systems are the items we see the most, but homeowners should never underestimate the importance of the coils. Keeping them clean can be one of the best ways to maximize the efficiency of your system. Regardless of the type of unit your home has, regular service and necessary upgrades not only increase comfort levels, but also will markedly reduce your energy bill.
Here are some ways to ensure that your A/C system stays healthy and operational :

■Dust and dirt will build up on coils over time and can cause problems if left unattended. So it’s crucial to regularly have both an indoor and outdoor coil cleaning professionally done. This insures that your A/C unit continues to operate at peak efficiency.
■Additionally, air filters should be replaced or cleaned at least twice a year. If you’re a cat or dog owner, you may need to do this more frequently.
If you fail to keep the coils clean and dust and dirt do build up, the heat transfer in the condenser coil can become so blocked that it does not cool enough to convert the hot gas back to liquid form. When this occurs, the A/C unit continues to run,, but does not cool. Then it becomes a domino effect of sorts – the compressor will overheat and eventually die. So keeping the coils clean and properly functioning is a key component in making sure your air conditioner is doing its job to the best of its ability.
