News India Live, Digital Desk: The month of February is about to end and with the beginning of March, the temperature is going to increase in the entire country including North India. Before the onset of extreme heat, it is very important to take care of the ACs lying in the house. If you run AC without service or checking, the pressure on its compressor increases and cooling reduces.
According to experts, before running the AC for the first time in the summer season, you should 5 steps Must follow:
1. Cleaning the Air Filters
Due to being switched off for months, a thick layer of dust accumulates on the filters of the AC.
What to do: Open the panel of the indoor unit, remove the filters and rinse them thoroughly with tap water.
Benefit: Clean filters increase air flow and prevent dust from spreading in the room.
2. Check Condenser Coils
The outdoor unit of the AC is often located on the terrace or balcony, where dirt and cobwebs accumulate.
What to do: Clean the condenser coils with gentle water pressure or a brush.
Caution: Take care that water does not fall on the electricals. If the coils are dirty, the AC will not be able to take out the heat from the room and the cooling will be less.
3. Check for blockage of the drain pipe (Clear the Drain Line)
The water coming out of the AC goes out through a pipe. Often this pipe gets blocked due to dust or garbage.
What to do: Check that there is no blockage in the drain pipe. If the pipe is blocked, water will start dripping from the indoor unit into the room.
4. Gas Leakage & Wiring Check
The cooling of AC completely depends on ‘refrigerant gas’.
What to do: If a sticky substance like oil is seen somewhere on the pipes, it could be a sign of gas leakage. Also, check for any bare wires bitten by rats to avoid short circuits.
5. Professional servicing is necessary (Professional Service)
You can do the above work yourself, but only once at the beginning of the season professional mechanic It is safest to get service from.
Benefit: The mechanic checks the pressure and amperes of the compressor, which reduces power consumption and increases the lifespan of the AC.
Pro-tip to save electricity:
Temperature while running AC 24°C to 26°C Set between. It is not only comfortable for the human body, but it also consumes very less electricity.
