Clean Your AC Unit

During the winter, some debris has likely collected on the coils and in the fan. It’s important to clean it. If not, the unit can work inefficiently, provide less cooling, or develop a refrigerant leak. We see many calls for AC repair in Brampton due to these and similar issues. Check the outdoor unit for leaves, twigs, and other debris and clear them. To clean the inside, remove the front panel and use a hose to remove any debris on its components, including the fins. Use a condenser coil cleanser engineered to remove the kind of debris that gets stuck onto it. Here are some tips for cleaning the outdoor unit:

• Gently lift the fan from the top and clean it with a vacuum or rag.
• To clean the coils, gently clean them with a soft vacuum brush or refrigerator coil brush.
• Be sure to clean up excess water within the unit.

Change Your Furnace Air Filter

The air filter prevents airborne particulates and other pollutants from getting inside your air conditioner. It also helps reduce indoor air pollution. A dirty filter can lead to dusty air, restricted airflow, and reduced AC efficiency. It can make the system work harder, so eventually, expensive repairs may be required. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and reduce the efficiency of your AC system. Replace the filter with a new one to ensure proper airflow

Inspect the Ducts

A professional duct cleaning can reach deeper into the system, but you can make some headway by removing the vent covers and washing them. Cover the vent openings with paper towels to prevent dust from blowing out of them; then loosen the dust by tapping lightly on the sides of the ductwork. This will loosen the dust and make it easier to vacuum it up with a vacuum cleaner’s nozzle and brush attachments. While you’re at it, inspect for damage such as punctures and dents in the metal. Look for shifted ducts and loose connections as well. Any damage to your ducts can cause air to leak and for contaminants to get in. Schedule a professional duct cleaning or repair if things look bad or your ductwork hasn’t been serviced in a few years. we recommend getting the ducts cleaned professionally every 5-7 years.

Test Your AC System

After the system is cleaned and dried, it’s time to test it. Start by turning the power back on at the main panel and disconnect the box, with the thermostat off. Then switch the thermostat to cool.

Check the condensate drain

Check the condensate drain for clogs or blockages. A clogged drain can cause water to back up and damage the AC system.
