Tips for Maintaining An AC Unit From Heating And Cooling Professionals in NJ

DENVILLE, N.J. - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Homeowners that want their air conditioners to survive the blazing heat of summer should be sure to give their AC unit the attention it deserves all year long.  Air conditioning units, like other machines, are made of different parts and wires that need to be inspected and maintained in order to remain at peak performance.

Heating and cooling specialists in NJ, like the professionals at The Entech Group Inc. agree that regular maintenance for all parts of the AC unit is vital to efficient operation.  The most important part of the AC unit is the filter. Clogged, dirty filters block normal airflow and reduce a system's efficiency significantly. Replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower your air conditioner's energy consumption by 5% to 15%.  During the warmer months, heating and cooling specialists recommend replacing the filter every 1-2 months.

Homeowners should also check and clean the air conditioning coils.  Coils collect dirt which reduces the coil’s ability to absorb heat.  To avoid this problem, check coils every year and clean as necessary. Another part of the AC unit that can become clogged is the condensate drain.  To unclog the drain, just run a stiff wire through the drain channels.

Finally, AC window units should be checked to make sure that the seal between the unit and the window is secure.  Also, during winter months, heating and cooling specialists advise that the unit be covered and protected from winter weather and debris.

Homeowners whose AC unit is not working properly can call a professional heating and cooling specialist in NJ.  For more information about HVAC services in NJ, please visit http://www.entechgroupinc.com/heating-ventilation-air-conditioning-services/hvac/home/
