Essential AC Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Air Conditioner in Tip-Top Conditions

Air conditioning is vital for keeping your Nassau County home cool and comfortable; without it, things can get pretty uncomfortable and even downright dangerous rather quickly. Like any other appliance or system, however, an air conditioner needs to be maintained. Without proper maintenance, the system can become strained, it will need to work harder and consume more energy, and your utility bills can suffer. Even worse, a neglected HVAC system is more prone to breaking down, and when that happens, you and your family can suffer.

To ensure your air conditioning system continues to function properly, operate efficiently, and deliver reliably cool air, here’s a look at some essential AC maintenance tips from a leading Locust Valley, NY air conditioner repair, maintenance, and installation company.

Change the Filters

The most crucial AC maintenance tip to ensure the system provides optimal cooling is cleaning and changing the filters. When the filters are dirty and clogged, airflow is obstructed and the efficiency of the system will be compromised. Furthermore, when airflow is blocked, air can bypass the filter, and dirt and debris can be deposited directly into the evaporator coils, which can reduce the heat absorption capacity of the coils. Just by exchanging dirty filters for clean ones will improve cooling capacity and reduce energy consumption by as much as 15%.

Clean the Condenser and Evaporator Coils

Dirt collects on both the condenser and evaporator coils of an HVAC system. Eventually, the dirt buildup can become so dense that airflow will be reduced, and in turn, heat absorption is reduced. While a clean filter will help to reduce the speed at which dirt accumulates on these coils, both should be checked and cleaned as needed.

Check the Coil Fins

The evaporator and condenser coils are covered with aluminum fins, and while durable, they can easily bend. If the fins are bent, airflow through the coils can be blocked. To avoid this problem and maintain the efficiency of your system, checking the coil fins is a vital part of AC maintenance. If they're bent, a simple tool called a fin comb, which most Locust Valley, NY air conditioner repair, maintenance, and installation companies sell, can be used to literally comb and straighten and almost completely restore the coil fins on your Nassau County HVAC system.

Check the Condensate Drain Lines

A central air conditioning system does more than just cool your Nassau County home; it also reduces the humidity by drawing moisture from the air. The moisture turns into condensation. A condensate drain line directs that moisture out of your home. Dirt and debris can accumulate in the drain line, and when that happens, the unit’s ability to reduce humidity levels can become compromised. Additionally, excess moisture can result in discoloration on the walls, floors, and other surfaces inside your home. Periodically passing a stiff wire through the drain channels can help to reduce the risk of these issues.

Hire a Pro

Rather than doing all of the above AC maintenance tips yourself, hiring a professional Locust Valley, NY air conditioner repair company is highly recommended. Not only will a professional be able to deliver better results, but if any issues are spotted, they’ll be able to make the necessary repairs. Plus, leaving this all-important job to a licensed and experienced HVAC technician is a lot easier for you!

Some information about Locust Valley, NY

Locust Valley is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located in the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 3,406 at the 2010 census.

The rolling hills of the North Shore of Long Island were laid down as terminal moraines by the receding glaciers of the last ice age roughly 10,000 years ago. The Algonquian tribe that settled the area, spanning from Flushing to Setauket, called the area ‘hilly ground’ or Matinecock and as a result the Algonquian Indians who settled there became known as the Matinecock Indians.

In 1667, Captain John Underhill negotiated with the Matinecock Indians to purchase land for a settlement that he and his fellow colonists would call Buckram. The town name lasted for nearly 200 years, until in 1856 the name was changed to Locust Valley based on the number of locust trees located in the area.

On April 19, 1869, the Long Island Rail Road opened the extension of the Glen Cove line, via a single track to Locust Valley, making it the terminus of the line until the railroad was extended to its current terminus in Oyster Bay in 1889.
