Protect and Clean Your Air Conditioner
Posted On: June 17, 2021
Your air conditioner unit provides you comfort especially during the warmer months. It is important that you know how to properly maintain and clean it so your comfort – as well as your family’s – will not be compromised. An air conditioner’s coils, filters, and fins all require regular maintenance for the unit to function efficiently and effectively. Neglecting proper maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning function while energy use increases.
Here are some tips on how you can better take care of your AC unit:
AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS
The most important maintenance task that helps ensures the efficiency of an air conditioner is to routinely clean or replace its filters. Clogged, dirty filters block normal airflow and reduce the system’s efficiency significantly. When normal airflow is obstructed, the air that bypasses the filter can carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and this might impair the coil’s heat-absorbing capacity. Replacing filters with a clean one can lower your air conditioner’s energy consumption by at least 5% to 15%, according to an Energy Saver article.
There are air filters that are reusable, and there are also some that need to be replaced. There is a variety of types and efficiencies. Filters need more frequent attention if you constantly use it, is subjected to dusty conditions, or if you have furry pets inside the house.
AIR CONDITIONER COILS
The air conditioner’s condenser and evaporator coils tend to collect dirt over months and years. A clean filter prevents the evaporator coil from soiling quickly but in time, the evaporator coil will still collect dirt. This collected dirt reduces airflow and insulates the coil, reducing its heat absorption ability. In order to avoid this problem, you should check your evaporator coil once a year and clean it as necessary. Outdoor condenser coils also become dirty especially if the outdoor environment is dusty or if there is any foliage nearby. Seeing the condenser coil is easy, so you can notice if dirt is collecting on its fins.
Dirt and debris near the condenser unit should be minimized. Keep in mind that dryer vents, lawn mower, and falling leaves are all potential sources of dirt and debris.
COIL FINS
The aluminum fins on condenser and evaporator coils are easily bent and they can block airflow through the coil. There is a tool called a “fin comb” that help comb these fins back into their nearly original condition.

Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.

All winter I have had an issue with very little heat reaching the 2nd floor of our home. After this past winter ended I decided to look into this. I found Twintech Heating and Cooling on line and started the process. After explaining my problem I had a call form Twintech and the tech came out and walked through things with me. The problem was the heating vent pipe had been dropped down in size by someone years ago causing little heat reaching the 2nd floor. Further into checking out the older furnace and AC they found a few things not properly installed by the last install of the old furnace and also that the AC was on it's last legs. I asked for a quote and waited a few days and we decided to go ahead with Twintech. They called a few days before to set up an installation time and date. The day of the install the guys were a half hour early which was a plus. The day of the install was great, the guys worked away removing the old furnace and AC.After which they installed the new furnace and AC. After they cleaned up the basement with all their tools and scrap metal etc. they came back inside to walk thru what they did. They also tested both the furnace and cooling systems to make sure everything worked and I the customer was happy. I now have heat on the 2nd floor for next winter. The guys from Twin tech were very professional. Their work habits and knowledge of the job was excellent. Their workmanship was just excellent, it was just up there with my standards as a homeowner. I am very pleased to have chosen Twintech for my new furnace and AC.. If I had to rate this experience with Twintech this company is a 10 in my books.Product,workmanship and customer care says it all.
