Air conditioners require periodic servicing and maintenance to ensure they remain working at their optimum level. This is especially true if they have not been used for a long time. However getting your AC serviced is not an arduous or messy procedure, provided you call in the right experts. They would do the job within an hour or two and leave your AC in the condition it was in before they showed up.

Basically air conditioning service involves a series of steps that the experts can do best:

1.    Cleaning the Fan

All AC’s are equipped with a powerful fan. If it becomes clogged with dust and grime, it would not be able to do its job efficiently and would require more power. In the long run it might short circuit as well. It has to be cleaned with a high powered blower and then oiled lightly.

2.    Cleaning off the Filters and Ducts

The filters are there to prevent pollutants and dust particles from entering your room. They may do a good job provided they are regularly cleaned. If not, they will clog up completely and would be more of a hindrance than a help and would greatly decrease air flow. If the filter falls to pieces while being cleaned then it must be replaced.

3.    Cleaning Condenser Coils

They can be cleaned with high powered jets of water and/or air.

4.    Straightening Bent Fins

The fins can easily be straightened with a fin comb. Moreover, a fin comb also cleans the fins quite efficiently.

5.    Routine Check Ups

Key electronic parts such as the thermostat, breakers, connections and fuses should be checked to ensure they are all working fine.
