Seasonal Air Conditioner Maintenance

Air con tends to be associated with the warmer months, especially when it’s hot, humid and stuffy. When winter comes, some office managers may decide to turn off their cooling system, but it’s important to remember that air conditioning equipment should be kept in good working order all year round, even during the winter. Taking the required measures to safeguard your air conditioning equipment will make sure that it’s ready for use again in the Springtime. 

Take a look at our useful pointers on how you can prepare your AC system for the winter.

Filters

Some HVAC owners may forget to clean and maintain their filters, even if you’re not using your air con, it’s important that you clean your filters every three months. The AC coils and fins will need the same amount of care and attention, this is to help maintain heat absorption and also add to the flow of movement throughout the unit. Annual coil inspections and cleaning are advised and this is the same for maintenance, as they can be bent over time.

Clean your condensate drains

Your air conditioning system heat pumps will need regular maintenance, the condensate drains can become blocked easily if they aren’t cared for, condensate drains that have been well maintained are critical when it comes to reducing humidity throughout the air-conditioned workplace. Clogged condensate drains can also cause water leaks, especially if they are not cleaned on a yearly basis. 

Remove the dirt and debris

Debris that comes with the colder weather can be a major concern for buildings that may use outside condensers, one of the most common offenders include falling leaves. With this in mind you should make sure that outdoor upkeep is a main part of the preparations for winter. You should also clear away any seasonal dirt and debris as well as cut back branches and foliage that may be hanging over your unit to protect it from the elements.

Protect your unit

Winter maintenance is actually quite straightforward, especially for those who have portable units in their work space. You will need to protect them by putting them in a safe, secure and dry place, and keep them covered if they are outdoors. 

Annual servicing

HVAC systems will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to make sure that your workplace is always running smoothly. With this in mind, you will not want them to fail. Running systems like these for long periods of time in adverse weather conditions can use more electricity and increase your energy costs. In order to keep expenses under control, you should make sure that your HVAC system is always operating and has the correct efficiency.
