The winter months are short, summer is long, and it is really hot in the UAE. So naturally, the gloomy old air conditioning unit must keep you company. A poor AC leads to faulty electricity bills, and no way you can avoid the sweat. During the course of the year, a few very simple tricks will keep your AC humming at peak efficiency, save money, and let you stay cool. So here goes those tips.
1. A Little Filter Cleaning Goes a Long Way
Dirty filters are the bane of any air conditioning system that works well. The unit works overtime as a result of restricted airflow. Check your filters every month. Give them a whirl under the tap, draw out the dust with a vacuum cleaner, and if all else fails, replace them. Clean filters offer efficient cooling, thereby saving electricity.
2. Pro Check-Up
Even the toughest ACs need some nurturing from time to time. Having that occasional start-of-season maintenance done with a technician, say at ZAS-Tech, from small to serious matters, will save the small matters from becoming serious and costly. The professionals will clean the coils, check the refrigerant, and get your system running as good as it can be. Having a tune-up done at least once a year will extend your AC's life and keep your house cool.
3. Clearing the Way for Airflow
Blocked vents and a dirty outdoor unit spell trouble for your AC's efficiency. Verify that no indoor vents are obscured by rugs, drapes, or furniture. Outside, toss away any leaves, dirt, or debris resting atop the condenser unit. An unobstructed flow of air translates into less work for your AC and faster cooling of your space.
4. Use Thermostat Wisely
It is tempting to turn the AC as low as it goes, but it wears out your system and also makes your bills go up. A temperature level around 24°C to 26°C is ideal, cool enough for you to relax but not so cold that the AC would burn out. A smart thermostat can manage this temperature perfectly without wasting energy.
Final Tip: Stay Cool, Save Cash
A well-maintained air conditioner not only keeps you comfortable, but it also saves you money and improves indoor air quality. In the summer, it is crucial in the United Arab Emirates. ZAS-Tech has your back with expert maintenance and trained advice to provide customized heat-beating solutions. Stay cool for the UAE!
