Aircon Condenser Unit Servicing
Air Conditioner can cool down the whole room regardless of the temperature outside. Most of us may not know that the most important part of the air conditioner is the condenser coil. This is the coil that surrounds the compressor.
Many problems may occur when the condenser coil gets blocked up by dirt and dust. When this happens, the compressor will get very hot and while the air conditioner is operating it will not be cool at all. If continual usage of the compressor coils, the condenser will be spoilt. Therefore, condenser coil must always be kept clean and free of dust while the air conditioner is operating. Coil condenser cleaning is pretty simple and easy, all you have to do is to follow these processes:
* In order to clean the coils, a few tools are needed. For example: A garden hose, and the sprayer.
* Firstly, you will have to disconnect the power from the outdoor unit and remove the fan from condenser unit. Wash the coil with the garden hose thoroughly; take note of the water pressure and ensure that it is not too strong.
* Next, refill the sprayer with the chemical solution to clean the fan coils.
* Leave it for a few minutes to allow the chemical solution to work on the dirt.
* Use the hose to wash off the residue.
* Fix the unit back and start it again
