Are you not getting the results you would like from your air conditioner? Are you running it all day, but still don't feel too comfortable in your home? If your air conditioner isn't cooling your home as fast or as efficiently as you would like it to, then it may be time that you do some fine tuning to your unit. Not only will service maintenance improve your unit's efficiency, but it will allow your air conditioner to cool your home faster, so you can avoid running your unit for an extended period of time, and this will help keep your electrical bill low. To perform maintenance on your air conditioning system yourself, consider doing the following:

Service Your Outside Unit:

Your outdoor unit, known as your condenser, should be cleaned and maintenance regularly. Not only do you want to clean the fins that surround your unit to help improve air intake performance, but you will also want to clean the coil in your unit. Your coil is what chills the outdoor air. If your coil isn't clean from debris and dust, then this could impact how cold the air that gets delivered into your home is. So be sure to clean the fins and coil of your condenser often to help improve the performance of your unit.

Clear off Your Filters:

When air is being delivered into your home, it will pass a filter and if these filters are layered in dust, then this could reduce the air level that gets delivered into your home, which can be the reason why you aren't seeing the results that you would like to from your AC. If you don't want to spend any money to resolve this issue, then you can remove your filters and vacuum them instead of replacing them. This is just as effective and will provide better airflow for your unit.

Fix Duct Leaks:

If your air conditioner's duct has any leaks then you could see a lose about 30% of your air conditioner's airflow. This can impact your system tremendously, which is why it is important to patch these leaks as soon as possible. To resolve this problem, you can use foil tape to seal any small hole, and this will ensure your units airflow level are where they should be.

Taking action by using these tips will help you maximize the performance and efficiency of your air conditioner, which will allow you to cool your home faster.
