In between schedule maintenance visits, here are some things to be aware of that can help improve the efficiency of an air conditioner.
Clean the air filters
The most important maintenance task that will improve the efficiency of the air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean the air filters. Replace one-inch pleated filters once a month. If you’re unsure of the type of filter to use, the Kanion distributor might help you in the task, alternatively customers may get in contact with Kanion Service & Support Department at kanion@kanionco.com or through https://www.kanionco.com/contactus.
Clean the air conditioner’s coils
The air conditioner's evaporator and condenser coils collect dirt over time. This dirt reduces airflow and insulates the coil, reducing its ability to absorb heat. Outdoor condenser coils can also become very dirty if the outdoor environment is dusty or if there is foliage nearby. To avoid these problems, the Kanion distributor will check and clean the air conditioner's coils, if necessary, at your annual maintenance visit.
Remove debris from the unit
Over time, things like leaves, dirt and grass clippings will build up on the outside of the air conditioner, decreasing system capacity and reducing airflow. You should trim any shrubs or other plants back from around the air conditioner to keep from impeding airflow to and from the unit.
