When the thermostat outside is near triple digits, we need to make sure our air conditioning is running smoothly. Our homes are a shelter against the sweltering summer, but if we’re not taking the necessary steps with professional air conditioning maintenance services, our shelter can turn into a sauna. When we think “professional,” we must think of the indoor air quality that AC Maintenance in Dubai and their All-Star technicians offer for the comfort of your home.

How does an air conditioner work?

Most households have AC units. The work of our air conditioners starts outside the condensing unit (the box that is outside your home). A condensing unit consists of five C’s:

• Cooling fans
• Condenser coil
• Compressor
• Condenser fan and motor
• Coolant (or Freon)

Technicians inspecting an AC unit The outside cage is where the unit’s cooling fans reside. When working properly, the condenser fan draws outside air in through the cooling fins.

Inside the condenser unit, the compressor changes the unit’s coolant from a gaseous state to a hot liquid state and sends it through the condenser coils. The condenser coil wraps its way around the entire circumference (top) of the condensing unit just behind the cooling fins.

The liquid coolant is cooled as it travels through the condenser coil and is aided by cool outside air drawn in through the condenser fan. As the heat dissipates through the coils, the condenser fan blows the heat from the top of the condensing unit back into the open air.

After the coolant passes through the condenser coils, it makes its way indoors to the evaporator coils where it turns back into gas and is sent back to the compressor outside. The cycle continues with the air conditioning unit running.

The second part of the joint consists of the following:

• The furnace
• Evaporator coil
• Drip pan
• Air filter
• Air ducts
• Fan

As the liquid coolant passes through the evaporator coils, the warm air inside our homes is drawn over them. Some of the hot air contacts the much cooler evaporator coils condenses and collects in the furnace drip pan, which sends the water down the drain and out of the house. Air that doesn’t condense is cooled and sent through duct systems to our main living areas – cooling the house.

Cool air circulates through the house, is heated, and is drawn back into the furnace through vents near the ceiling. Warm air from the house is drawn into the furnace by a fan and passes through a filter that collects dust and debris.

It is important to understand how our air conditioning units work. On the one hand, it allows us to communicate more effectively with professional technicians if we need to diagnose our system. On the other hand, we can often pinpoint the cause of some problems without needing to call in a professional.

If our filters need to be replaced, we can certainly take care of them ourselves. However, there are many issues that we should leave entirely to the trusted professionals at AC Maintenance in Dubai.

What maintenance needs to be done on our air conditioning systems?

Everything is on time and the team at AC Maintenance in Dubai can make it all happen. Air conditioning units are commonly found in every home across Dubai, and we often don’t consider how convenient these systems are for providing comfort. Thankfully, we’ve only covered the basics and are better off because of it. Now, how do we make sure our AC units are ready for the hot days of summer?

1.Clean the outside of the condensing unit – it’s as easy as vacuuming the debris from the outside with a soft brush hose.

2. Straighten the cooling fins — Using a butter knife or dull kitchen knife, press down on any fins that are bent or crushed. Do not insert the knife more than an inch and a half into the feathers.

3. Remove the fan and clean the inside of the condensing unit — be careful not to disturb any wiring.

4. Place the cooling fins down – spray the fins from the inside out.

Now that we have the compressing unit in top shape, let’s clean things up inside the house.

1.  Check out the filter — all you need is a simple observation. If you know which filter you use, check online to see how often it should be changed.

2. Vacuum the blower compartment – there will likely be some minor dust that can’t be cleaned in a while.

3. Get out an oil can — or a small bottle of lube. If the motor inside your furnace has lubrication ports, put a few drops in each port and you’ll be good to go.

4. Flush the drain tube—this is the tube that drains the condensation to the drip pan. Adding a mixture of bleach and water (1:16 ratio) will do the trick.

5. Clean the pipe drain port—it’s normal for some minor debris to accumulate here.

There is no shame in lacking confidence in performing these maintenance tasks. The experts at AC Maintenance in Dubai are experts because they have been extensively trained to do all of the above. If you want to make sure your system is running on all cylinders this summer, give us a call, and we’ll get your system running like new.
