Why taking care of your air conditioner is necessary during the winter

Air conditioners are very useful in providing us with cool air when it is hot. The cool air makes us feel relaxed and revitalised. During the winter months, temperatures in the UK are always very low and we do not use the air conditioners.

Air conditioners are electrical appliances and like all appliances they require proper and timely maintenance. If they are not serviced periodically it may result in frequent breakdowns and deterioration in performance. It is always better to have your air conditioner unit serviced at least twice a year by a professional technician.

During winter, whilst the air conditioner is sparingly used, proper maintenance is still required. To enjoy its service for a longer period and save on repairing costs, it is necessary to care for your unit properly. Some simple steps can be followed to keep your unit in an excellent condition are:

1. During winter, always keep the compressor covered to protect it from the cold weather and unkind conditions such as snow. Ideally, an appropriate compressor cover should be bought when purchasing the air conditioner.

2. Check your air conditioner hoses for any leaks. It is recommended to do this before the start of winter and before the start of summer. This will help you identify any problem before it escalates into something big for repair.

Purchasing an air conditioner can be a significant investment for most of us. It is always best to take proper care of it to ensure a long and trouble free cooling experience.
