Home air conditioning repair and maintenance tips
The air conditioner is the most important appliance in the house. It is vital for your family's comfort and health, especially during the summer months. But if you are not aware of some maintenance tips, it can lead to serious problems and even make your air conditioner inefficient. Here are some home air conditioning repair & maintenance tips that will help keep your AC unit in proper working condition for a longer period:
Inspect Your Air Conditioner Regularly:
Get a regular inspection done by a professional who will check whether there are any defects or problems with the main parts such as compressor, fan motor, condenser coils, etc. If any defect is found, then it should be repaired immediately before it causes any harm to your AC unit and also saves money on electricity bills as well.
2. Clean the Dirty Filters:
Your air conditioner works properly when its filters are clean. Dust particles build up on them, which reduces airflow through them and makes it difficult for them to cool down rooms efficiently. So regularly clean these filters using a vacuum cleaner or brush so that they can remove dust particles easily and keep them clean all the time without causing any issue at all to your AC unit.
3. Check Your Ducts for Leaks
 Ducts must be sealed tightly to prevent heat loss through cracks and holes in the ductwork. To check for leaks, place a drop of soapy water on all joints between sections of ductwork, then look for bubbles that indicate a leak. Pay particular attention to joints where ductwork connects with walls, ceilings, and floors.
4. Check the Drain Pan
Most modern central air conditioners have a condensate drain pan at the bottom of their outdoor unit where moisture collects when they're running. Over time these pans can become clogged with leaves and debris, causing water to overflow when it rains or if there's a heavy dew in the morning. If you find that your AC isn't draining properly, open up the drain pan and clear out any obstructions with a vacuum cleaner attachment or broom handle before attempting another repair job on your central air conditioning system.
5. Change your Air Filter Regularly 
This will improve airflow through your system and help keep dust and dirt away from electrical components, which could cause overheating and damage them over time. If you have central air conditioning, you'll probably need to replace filters more often than if you have window units since central systems circulate more air through their filters than window units do due to their size and location inside homes (where there's more dust).
6. Flush Out Your Air Conditioning System
When you have a lot of dust and dirt in an air conditioning system, the coils can get clogged up and cause problems with the unit's performance. This is why it's important to check the filter regularly and clean it or replace it if necessary. The filter should be cleaned at least once every month or so, but if you have pets or plants in your home, then you may need to clean it more often than that. 
You'll also need to make sure that any ductwork doesn't have any obstructions in it either because this could lead to poor airflow within your house as well as high energy bills from having to run your unit longer than necessary just to cool down rooms that aren't getting enough fresh air coming through them.
So with that, look around your air conditioning system to see whether or not it needs repair or maintenance.
