DIY Maintenance Tasks to Avoid Air Conditioning
Unit Repairs
An air conditioning unit’s coils, filters, and fins need ongoing maintenance in order for it to efficiently and effectively function during its years of service. Failing to perform the necessary maintenance will ensure an inevitable decline in the unit’s performance while energy costs will continue to increase.

DIY Maintenance Tasks
The air conditioner unit’s
condenser coil and evaporator
coil both collect dirt over the
course of several months and
years. Although a clean filter
stops the evaporator coil from
getting dirty too quickly, over time
it will still collect dirt. This dirt
decreases the airflow and works
to insulate the coil, lessening its
ability to properly absorb heat.
Air Conditioner Coils
The most important DIY
maintenance task that will
enhance the effectiveness of
your air conditioning unit is to
clean or replace the filters on a
routine basis. Dirty, clogged
filters block adequate airflow
and therefore significantly
decrease the overall efficiency
of the system. Want to lower
your unit’s energy consumption
by as much as 15%? Replace
the dirty filter with a clean one
as needed.
Air Conditioner Filters
Run a stiff wire through the
channels of your unit’s
drain occasionally. Clogged
channels don’t let the unit
properly reduce humidity,
and the excess moisture
can potentially discolor
carpeting or walls.
Condensate Drains
Coil Fins
The aluminum fins on condenser and evaporator coils are somewhat easily bent and can block the airflow through the unit’s coil. Consider buying a “fin comb” that virtually combs the fins back into their original shape and condition.
