How can I avoid the most common AC installation problems?

Any time you have a major project like an air conditioning installation, there are bound to be a few bumps in the road. In this post, we'll outline some of the most common AC installation problems and how you can avoid them. Keep in mind that these tips are just general guidelines - if you're having trouble with your specific installation, it's best to call in a professional. 

One of the most common home repairs are for air conditioning installation or service. If you have just moved into a new house or bought an AC unit, it's important to take care of your purchase. The last thing you want is to be in the middle of summer with no working AC when something goes wrong with your system.

Before you do anything, read your owner's manual or check the Internet to see if you have some warranty on your unit. It is also important to check with an expert before making any changes on your AC system. If it's too late, and you are stuck with a broken AC during the heat of summer, here are some tips that will help minimize problems in future, while you enjoy some quiet cool air.

A common mistake made by many customers is only changing the filter when it's so dirty that it has stopped cooling. Your system needs a clean AC filter to work properly, and if you don't have one, your air conditioner will not be able to produce cool air evenly. Checking on your filter and replacing it when dirty will go a long way in saving you money and minimize future problems.

Never put any metal in your AC unit box. Sometimes, the condensate drain lines may leak and over time this will rust all your ducts. You can replace that metal line with no-rust plastic material or PVC pipe, which is much cheaper and easier to maintain.

Always keep the AC unit clean from dust, leaves, branches or any debris that may block air flow into your system. This can be very dangerous because it not only conducts heat inside your home but also causes serious damage to the AC hardware itself. Cleaning your outside AC is simple and inexpensive, and it will protect your investment and keep your unit running smoothly.

Finally, if you have a split AC system in the house, make sure the main switch is turned off before working on it. In case of a single-hose or central air conditioner, always shut down the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock. This sounds obvious but many people forget this simple step that could save them serious injury.

If you follow these tips, your AC system should last for years to come and give you great service without any issues. If your unit needs repairs, make sure it is done by an expert or call a professional AC services technician to avoid any problems with future warranty claims.

Conclusion: With a little preparation and some expert help, you can avoid the most common AC installation problems.
