Ac maintenance so as not to become a den of germs

With the heat we enter this period of the year in which we feel like getting home and make stops the air conditioning. But the teams need a rational and efficient use and a good periodic maintenance. Only in this way achieves optimal performance and that they are healthy. Otherwise, they spend much, cool little and become a focus of germs.

irt can cause the appliance to cool little. Periodic cleaning of the unit is recommended, preferably every month. Air filters and batteries of Exchange must be perfectly clean. When in doubt, stick a paper tape silk with air conditioning and it will be easy to identify when it begins to reduce performance because it “flies” less…

Some teams already include backflush function (for example, the new LG teams): with a single keystroke Gets an optimal air quality, avoiding the appearance of mould and odours and moisture collecting. All this with the guarantee that won’t need an additional cleaning in 3 years.

Another reason why the team ceases to cool is a possible leak of gas. The gas is spent or is damaged, so that under normal conditions of operation is not necessary to fill it. If low level is because there is a leak that needs repairing. It is vital to identify the cause of the drop in performance, first cleaning equipment and noting if it pays more, and then paying attention to a possible shortage of gas, it can cause an overheating of the compressor of fatal consequences.

A common question among users is if housing air-conditioning equipment require a mandatory review . The answer is no. However, a professional review once a year is not over: a technician is able to identify if she is correct, the levels of coolant and oilState of batteries of Exchange, and incidentally do a deep cleaning of the team. Important than the technical availability of professional driver of heating installations in buildings.

A healthy team must also behave healthily with the environment. If you have many years, it is “suspected” of practical antiecológicas… The R22 refrigerant common HCFCS on old computers damage the ozone layer and is already subject to a strict timetable for follow-up by the European Union: only permitted the HCFCs regenerated or recycled, and only until the end of 2014.

Rational use of air conditioning
Once the maintenance is done, should also take care of “keep” a constant temperature, to what is necessary to have a programmable electronic thermostat. Should not be changing often the objective that we set to air conditioning equipment, but set a comfort temperaturein summer, 24º C . The ideal is to establish the following proportion: that the difference between the temperature of the exterior and the interior does not exceed 12 ° C.

It is essential not to stop and start the air depending on the heat that we have at every moment because you harder the team overcome the thermal inertia and does not respond as well. The inverter technology is an excellent investment if you’re thinking of changing computer or install a new one. It maintains a constant temperature of which we speak very efficiently, to constantly adjust the speed of rotation of the compressor. Much better if technology inverter accompany some quality filters with properties antivirus and anti-allergic.
