As the weather gets warmer, you may be concerned about the state of your AC units. General Electric wall air conditioners units are known for their durability and efficiency, but even top-quality units can suffer from lack of maintenance. To avoid costly repairs, there are a number of things you can do to keep your units in good working order. From the simple cleaning of gadgets to inexpensive replacements of certain parts, there are many ways to keep your unit working in tip-top shape longer. Here you’ll find the most common problems we encounter at the start of summer and what you can do to avoid them.
Change the Filter
The filters in General Electric wall air conditioners units must be changed on a regular basis to avoid a buildup of dust and dirt. Dirty filters result in poor air quality and restricted air flow. If left unchanged for an extended period of time, a dirty filter can also cause the coils to freeze or a number of other costly repairs.
Examine for Leaks
Air conditioning units should remain sealed and never leak refrigerant. Even a small leak can cause the efficiency of your unit to deplete and electricity use to skyrocket. The coils may begin to freeze and the unit may not cool your home. In some cases, a weakened connection or bad Schrader valve is to blame and may require a simple replacement part.
Clean the Coils
Both the evaporator coils located inside of your home and the condenser coils located on the portion of the AC unit outside your home require regular cleaning. Over time, dust and dirt build up and restrict these coils from efficient air flow and cooling capabilities. Keeping them clean will go a long way to reducing wear and tear on your unit, as well as lowering energy costs.
