Off Season Air Conditioner Upkeep: Why Should You Keep It Covered?

Even though the air conditioners are built strong enough to pass through snows, winds, heat, rains or biting cold, it needs regular maintenance like all things good or bad. The filters, the coils, fins, hoses et al should be kept in a good condition to help the whole unit run sleek and simple all around the year for so long as you’ve it. Particularly the coil of the condenser needs better upkeep since it is exposed out in the open, unlike the coil in the evaporator. The uncovered condenser coil gets dirty far too frequently because of the dust and pollution or because of trees close to or above it. Anything coming in contact with the coil might have an insulation of sorts-dust particles, grease, dirt, soot, dry leaves, seeds, corrosion, bugs as well as microorganisms like bacteria may be an obstacle to the much needed heat transfer from the refrigerant to the outside air. Unwanted heat needs to be given out through the refrigerant.

The amount of refrigerant utilized in an air conditioning unit determines whether the makers would get the highest SEER level of efficiency or not-the lesser, the better. The models are designed in perfect balance, and therefore the slightest hindrance to the heat transfer generally conks out the balance and drops the functioning of the unit. If dust or dirt accumulates on the coils, the proper quantity of heat doesn’t go out, therefore increasing the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant going into the compressor to irregular degrees. As a result, the compressor stresses itself to work more on the cooling of the ‘abnormal’ refrigerant, thereby drawing more amperes of electricity. As a result of this disaster, the cooling capacity of the air conditioner clearly dwindles and the mechanical components wear out. So a dirty coil simply boils down to three things-insufficient cooling, fagged out machine parts along with a higher price for functioning.

Over time, if you keep the coils dirty, they get choked with seeds and dirt and restrict proper airflow. And when the airflow is impeded on a hot day, the head and cylinders of the compressor immediately will get too much hot. Next, the oil will start breaking down and fall short to lubricate. This fosters decay and allows contaminants into the air conditioning unit. If that happens, the pistons, rings and cylinders indispose and consequently, the compression lowers, valves leak, metal debris float in the oil. Lastly, total failure of the compressor nears. Air conditioners function in a closed circuit system. It isn’t whatsoever an easy and easy procedure to exchange the complete lubricant. The oil used in air conditioning models is originally quite resilient but impurities in it or into the system and regular neglect speed up the end. The outcome is same as trying to drive an automobile without changing its engine oil for a ten years. In an air conditioner, when the compressor stops operating, there’s no way out other than to throw it away and replace it with a new one. And this of course indicates opening the system, getting rid of the refrigerant and also the oil, and filtering dryers to clean up the unit. Moisture and acid sets in as you open the system or once the system fails. Obviously, this can be a very time-consuming and costly process. And the worst news is that, many air conditioners, at this time, are not in a condition that is worth the trouble.

The advantages of cleaning the coils regularly are as follows:

•More heat gets out of the space, cooling is quicker and the system operates at very a low temperature.

•Electricity costs remain low as a clean system always draws minimum amperes.

•The compressor can run stress-free, at ease and with optimum effectiveness.

•All the elements stay healthy and thus ensure more reliability and a longer life for the unit.

For all these reasons, it’s usually suggested to keep the coils free from dust and dirt with the help of an air conditioner cover when you’re not using it, like in the winter season months.
