How to take care of an Air Conditioner?

With the onset of summer and mercury rising high, we are saved by this brilliant invention of mankind, no guesses It is the Air Conditioner. But it deserves a bit of care and maintenance too.
If you are looking for tips on buying the suitable Air Conditioner then here is our guide for you.
Here you are on the page that will help you to improve the efficiency of your beloved AC and make it last longer. (Without any further exaggeration) Let’s go through our tips for AC.

      1. AC requires cleaning
Air Conditioners often malfunction due to their filters not being cleaned properly. The filters need to be checked and cleaned every 6 months. If your AC is in a very polluted or a dusty room, then you need to clean it every month. It does not take long and saves a lot of trouble at the last moment.

2.  Use a Stabilizer from a reputed brand.

We often have the habit of saving up some bucks while purchasing stabilizer for our AC. We may invest even 50K for a good AC but get careless about stabilizer. It matters a lot. The voltage regulation part and a continuous supply to the AC without any hiccups is best when stabilizer operates well. GharValas suggests investing a good stabilizer and your AC will work for years.
Our readers are smart already so we are not naming any brands. Do we need to?

3. Abrupt Leakages

Sometimes the AC cooling gets very low and it takes much longer than usual time to cool the room at your home or workplace. It might also be due to the increased humidity or voltage fluctuations (if not using a good stabilizer) but if Unfortunately, the issue persists for long with plenty of water coming from tubes, then it is the refrigerant leak in the AC.
You need to call up the service center and let the engineer take care of it.

4. The Heating Coils of AC is important

The air conditioner is most efficient when operating in a closed room or a room with the minimum passage for air to flow from hotter to cooler regions. In simple words, try to keep your doors and windows closed when AC is on.
Your air conditioner will thus consume lesser power and its heating coils will not get generate extreme heat.
Thus a win-win situation for us.

5. Always check electric connections

It is always advised to make sure that all the connections are proper. The connections should be insulated. Very often, an air conditioner fails if connections are not done properly. The connection terminals often get corroded. It is better to get them checked during service visits.

The Big Picture 

Air Conditioners function nonstop in extremely high temperatures. Air Conditioner is also subject to multiple On-Offs and it affects the components too. The long life and low maintenance of your summer savior are in your hands. Taking care of AC is ultimately caring for yourself. You can always do this little for yourself. If not, then call your service center and schedule a service. Keep your AC maintained and it will make your summers cool.
