How Do You Clean A Window Unit Air Conditioner?
Window unit air conditioners need regular cleaning and maintenance to operate at optimum efficiency. It is not difficult, but it is time-consuming. Your reward will be cleaner, fresher air and a more efficient cooling system.This method is only for cleaning the filter and the inside coils of your air conditioner. Unless you have studied HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) or small engine repair, do not attempt to clean or take apart your air conditioner’s motor housing. If your air conditioner needs a refill on coolant, please consult a professional HVAC contractor. Be sure your window unit air conditioner is disconnected from any power sources before attempting to clean it. If your window unit is wired into the home instead of having a power cord, put the master circuit breaker for the entire house in the off position or pull it out if you have the old fashioned fuses.The capacitor in your window unit can store electricity even when the unit is not plugged into the wall.
