Things that you can do to maintain your old air conditioner

Air conditioners are used in the summer season when people cannot bear the scorching sun. Air conditioners give cold air and reduce the heat in a house. Almost everyone in London has air conditioners in their houses. Investing in air conditioners while living in London is a great investment because air conditioners are used throughout the summer season. Air conditioners work all day and night to give us cold air. They work really hard so they stop working sometimes. A lot of people change their air conditioners when they get old and consider air conditioning disposal in London. Air conditioners often surprise us by giving hot air instead of cold air. It is a struggle to maintain the functionality of old air conditioners. There are things that you can do to maintain your old air conditioner:

·         Change the air filter

Air filter needs to be cleaned regularly. You can change the air filter. Clean the air filter every month. If you notice that the air is not flowing well from the air conditioners, check the air filter. If the air filter is not in a good condition, change it. Sometimes dust and debris gather in the air filter and it stops the flow of air. When the air filters are dirty, they do not work properly.

·         Clean the coils

There are coils in air conditioners that you should also check. Air conditioning coils absorb the heat and turn the hot air into cold air. They are responsible for making your room cool. The coils can also get affected by the outer heat and the dust. Coils can also be filled with dirt and debris. When the coils get filled with dirt and debris, they become inefficient. It gets hard for them to absorb the heat and convert it into cold air. Make sure to keep checking the coils of your air conditioner and keep them clean every week so that you can enjoy cool air.

·         Inspect the fins

There is condenser and evaporator in every air conditioner. The condenser and evaporator have fins. These fins can bend and mold with time. When the fins bend, they cause insufficient airflow. If your air conditioner has aged, make sure to check its fins. Maybe, you are planning to buy a new air conditioner but the fault is only in the fins.

·         Clean the condenser

Condenser is also an important part of air conditioner. Condenser unit is the outer part of the air conditioning system. It blows the hot air that is present in the room. There is a fan inside the condenser that blows the hot air outside. Debris and dust may gather in the condenser which affects the functionality of the condenser. Make sure to clean the condenser so that it can work well.

·         Dispose of the old air conditioner and buy a new one

If your air conditioner is too old and you have done all the above-mentioned things to increase its efficiency, it is the right time to dispose of it and buy a new one. Do not just throw it on road side. Call London Metal and Recycling to get air conditioning disposal inLondon.
