Simple AC Maintenance Steps You Can Do at Home

Here are some DIY AC maintenance tips you can safely try:

1. Clean or Replace Air Filters

Dirty filters block airflow, reduce cooling, and force your AC to work harder. Clean filters every month and replace them every 2–3 months.

2. Inspect the Thermostat

Check your thermostat settings and ensure it’s working correctly. Upgrading to a smart thermostat can save energy.

3. Clean the Outdoor Unit

Remove debris, leaves, and dirt around your AC condenser unit. Ensure there’s at least 2 feet of clearance around it.

4. Check for Leaks

Look for water leaks around the unit. Water pooling indicates clogged drainage or refrigerant problems.

5. Ensure Proper Airflow

Keep vents open and avoid blocking them with furniture or curtains.

Energy-Saving Tips for Your AC

Reducing energy consumption not only lowers your bills but also extends your AC’s life.

• Set Thermostat to 24–26°C (75–78°F) – Ideal temperature for comfort and efficiency.

• Use Ceiling Fans – Helps distribute cool air more evenly.

• Close Doors & Windows – Prevents cool air from escaping.

• Schedule Maintenance Twice a Year – Preventive check-ups by professionals ensure efficiency.

• Use Energy-Efficient Appliances – Consider upgrading old AC units to modern, eco-friendly systems.
