Rising global temperatures imply that our summers here in North Haven will be even hotter. To stay cool and comfortable indoors during those hot and humid 90-degree days, you need your split unit or wall air conditioning unit to be in great shape. Having your AC quit on you in the middle of a sweltering “feels like 100 degrees” day is a terrible experience. Unfortunately, poorly maintained air conditioning units are more likely to quit on you when you need them most due to the increased utility demand.
To avoid AC malfunctions at the worst times, contact our North Haven team to conduct residential AC wall unit cleaning. Our professional cleaning team at Steamatic of Connecticut can help with all your preventative air conditioner maintenance services. Contact us today to get started.
When Do You Need to Clean Your AC Unit?
Several conditions can make cleaning the wall or split-unit air conditioning in your North Haven home necessary, including:
- Reduced or weak airflow
- Cooling takes considerably longer
- Unexplained increase in your energy bills
- Air from the AC smells musty or has an unpleasant odor
- Distilled water drips indoors on your walls or on your windowsill instead of through the drain outside
- Occasional ice or frost coming out of the AC vents
Before you throw out your window unit or spend money on expensive fixes, try cleaning your air conditioner or doing regular maintenance on it. It just might be the solution you need to enjoy a cooler home.
Key Benefits of Regular Air Conditioner Cleaning
Having your air conditioner cleaned regularly has many benefits, such as:
- Improving AC’s optimal performance and blowing cooler air
- Lowering energy bills as the AC does not have to work so hard
- Elevating your indoor air quality by eliminating or trapping pollutants
- Reducing the frequency of allergic reactions
- Prolonging your air conditioner’s lifespan
- Ensuring the system is always operational, as it minimizes system breakdown
- Preventing mold growth in the drain pan or condensation drain
Please note that residential wall units in North Haven often require more frequent cleaning and maintenance. For optimal performance, have them cleaned at least twice a year and remember to always drain the condensate pan.
What We Do When Steamatic Cleans Your Wall Air Conditioning Unit
For split units, the cleaning process is straightforward and involves cleaning or replacing the filter, blowing and cleaning out the condenser coils, as well as treating the condensate drain.
In contrast, wall units require removal, rinsing the mesh air filter, and cleaning the unit’s drain pan, fan blade, and internal coils. It is also important to do a flush to ensure there is no standing water in the drain pan when covering it up for the autumn and winter. During our residential AC wall unit cleaning, our North Haven team can further explain our process and what you can do to prevent further issues.
