What You Need to Know About Your Central Air Conditioning System
If you are a new homeowner, you may have never had to be responsible for taking care of and properly maintaining a central heating and cooling system. Apartment dwellers have the luxury of having maintenance men to come do these common tasks that ensure your air conditioner is running at its best. This guide will help you understand basic aspects of your central air conditioning system’s proper care. If you have problems with your system or need more detailed advice, always contact a licensed professional heating and air conditioning specialist.
1. Filters- All air conditioners have an air filter. The job of the air filter is very simple- to filter out pollutants from the air. There are two basic types of filters, disposable and non-disposable. Disposable filters should be changed and non-disposable filters washed periodically to prevent clogging. A clogged air filter not only cannot properly do its job, but it also makes the air conditioner work harder to force air through the filter, resulting in more expensive electric bills and possible permanent damage to the systems motor.
2. Duct Leaks- A minor leak in your home’s ducts can cause significant loss of air. Checking your home’s ducts regularly can prevent your central air conditioning system from being overworked while trying to compensate for the loss. A simple trick to find leaks in your system is to hold a stick of incense near the joints of the ducts. If the smoke blows around, you have a leak in that area that must be sealed.
3. Insulation of ducts in hot areas is very important to keep the air that flows through them properly cooled. Check your ducts regularly for any exposed areas, especially in hot areas such as attics or crawl spaces.
4. Timers are a useful addition to your homes energy efficiency plans. Most modern central air conditioning systems will have a timer feature installed. It is always best to make sure that your timer is set to a higher temperature during the day when you are not at home and a lower temperature for the times you are home. Utilizing this piece of equipment will help lower your cooling bills significantly.
5. All central air conditioning systems need regular maintenance. Aside from routine filter cleaning or changes, your central air conditioning system also needs routine professional maintenance to keep it functioning properly and to help extend the life of the vital components that are responsible for keeping you cool. Regular maintenance includes cleaning of the system, checking for leaks, checking Freon levels, inspecting the coils, adjusting and replacing fan belts, inspecting safety features, and lubricating the essential bearings and motor components.
Understanding these basic concepts will help you maintain and prolong the life of your central air conditioning system. Cleaning or changing the filters, checking for duct leaks, insulating your home’s ducts, utilizing timers and keeping up with routine maintenance will all help keep your system running efficiently and help lower your cooling bill.
