One of the best ways to keep a home’s system for Air conditioning Greenwood IN working at its best is by spending time each season cleaning the various units that make up the system. One of the most important of these units is the unit inside the home, the blower.
This unit is responsible for sending the cooled air into the home through the various vents and ducts of the home. It regularly pulls in a great deal of air from the home and, because of this, can collect a good amount of hair, fibers and other types of matter. This can clog the system and make it work ineffectively and inefficiently as well. This can result in a home that may not be well cooled and energy costs that can be extremely high.
One of the first things that should be done to keep this unit working well is to check the air filter. The air filter for the system is generally located in a thin metal slot on the blower section. It is often covered with a metal door that should be easy to open. Inside the slot, the air filter will generally be found. Removing the filter will allow a homeowner to view the amount of dirt on the filter. By holding it up to the light, one can see how much light can make its way through the filter. This is equal to the amount of air the filter allows to pass through it. If it is too dirty to allow much air to come through, it should be replaced.
The blower itself can also become very bogged down with dirt that should be vacuumed out with a regular shop or household vacuum cleaner. A long nozzle attachment can be useful in reaching some of the smaller areas of the unit. It should be vacuumed both inside the unit and out. A stiff brush can be useful in getting dirt from the vents and grilles. This is especially helpful in cleaning the vents on the motor for the unit.
The fan on the system should also be cleaned using a stiff brush. If the fan or fan belt show any signs of damage, it may be necessary to have a professional from a business that handles repairs on Air conditioning Greenwood IN come to inspect the unit.
