Few things are less comfortable than a sunny afternoon with a broken air conditioner. Those of you who have experienced it know what an inconvenience it can be. Luckily, there are tips you can practice to keep from dealing with a broken air conditioner! One common problem is debris that builds up in the air conditioner. This can result in several points of the a/c/, from debris at the outside unit such as grass and dirt, or junk that actually gets into the indoor part and can clog the drains, resulting in water backup and leaks.
Ants are a common pest in backyards, and their presence can cause serious damage to your air conditioner. Deter these bugs by spraying Lysol or sprinkling baby powder around the unit to keep them at bay. Also, strategically place your a/c in the shade to cut back on draining effects of direct sunlight. Remember to also change the filter frequently--once a month should be safe to prevent debris from building up and preventing air flow.
