With National Cleaning week coming next week, it’s a great time to remind you to give your air conditioning system some much-needed attention. Common AC unit issues include refrigerant leaks, clogged filters, faulty thermostats, and motor or compressor failures. Neglecting regular maintenance can exacerbate these issues and lead to costly repairs or even replacement of the unit.

Though a simple wipe down and a dusting of your outside AC unit makes for a funny picture, here at Dent, it is not exactly what we recommend. So, if you are experiencing is

sues with your ac unit not running or cooling properly, try out a few of the below methods:

• Clean or replace your AC filter every 1-3 months to improve indoor air quality and ensure optimal airflow.
• Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of debris and vegetation to avoid obstructing airflow and potentially causing damage.
• Check and clean the evaporator and condenser coils annually to prevent the buildup of dirt and debris that can decrease efficiency and cause breakdowns.

And as a bonus tip: if your air conditioning unit is already down or you the above tips did not help, give Dent Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing a call to have a licensed and experienced technician come out to diagnose and fix your problem today!
