It
is a must to clean your air conditioning in North Vancouver. Most
modern air
conditioning in North Vancouver
need their filters cleaned once every 3 months. However, if you live
in an area where the air tends to be dirtier such as those living in
the city or those living near busy streets, you need to clean your
air conditioning’s air filter more frequently than that. These are
the things that can happen if you don’t clean the air filter:
-
It will short-cycle
Short
cycling is when the air conditioning unit cycles on and off faster
than normal. Air conditioners follow a cycling rhythm. Once it
detects that it has reached the desired temperature, it cycles off to
prevent exceeding the temperature set and to help reduce electricity
consumption. But when you don’t clean your air conditioning’s air
filter, it might not effectively expel cold air. It backs up into the
system, which is why the unit will think it needs to cycle off.
-
The drain hose can get clogged with dirt
Some
of the dirt can get to your drain hose. When this happens, the water
condensation won’t drain properly. It can cause leaks.
-
It can cause poor indoor air quality
The
dirty particles trapped by your air conditioner’s filter can become
airborne once again. These dirt particles can also turn moldy
overtime.
A more thorough cleaning done by professionals such as ProGas North Shore can also help keep the above-mentioned problems at bay. Aside from cleaning the air filter, schedule for professional cleaning once a year.
