Here are some quick tips from us here at S&K’s One Hour Air for taking care of your air conditioning system so it keeps going strong!
Keep it clean!
- Seven out of ten system failures are indirectly related to clogged filters and dirty coils. BETTER FILTERS mean cleaner systems (and houses, too)!
Keep cleaning!
- INDOOR: Dirty coils inhibit heat transfer and encourage bacteria growth. This bacteria can cause the “dirty sock” syndrome.
- OUTDOOR: Totally unrestricted air flow over outdoor coil is the key. Keep weeds and shrubs away from unit where the fan can pull it into the coil.
Freon levels
- The average Air Conditioning system has six pounds of R-22 freon. As little as twelve ounces low can effect operating output by twenty-five percent. Freon is what cools that hard working compressor motor locked inside the “black can”.
Clean your drain
-A clogged drain can cause serious damage when condensation overflows the drain pan.
Fan Blades
-Cracked or out-of-balance blades can vibrate the unit causing excessive wear, freon leaks, and bearing failure. Check it often.

Terrific tips! I especially like your statistics on how being low in refrigerant affects operation output. Hope it’s okay to link to this post from my blog and my website the next time I update them.
