In the middle of a summer heatwave, it can seem like the most important thing you own is an air conditioner. If you don’t have one, or – perhaps, even worse – the one you have is on the fritz, it can be a frustrating and annoying experience. Is there anything you can do proactively to help ensure that a broken air conditioner is not on your list of troubles?
Yes! There are plenty of basic air conditioner maintenance tasks that nearly all homeowners can do, and they apply to just about every type of air conditioning system available nowadays. One of the most important ways to keep your air conditioner in good condition is to keep it clean. Cleaning or replacing the filter goes without saying, but you may also need to remove significant debris from the frame. In some cases, you could even remove the frame and clean the inside of the air conditioner.
