Summer time calls for a lot of care and precaution when it comes to our air conditioning units cause our days and nights depend on it. We bring a few suggestions and tips that will keep your AC unit up and running through these hot months.
We suggest that for all technical issues you call a professional, but a little maintenance and cleaning tasks can be done at home to ensure efficiency and keep the need for a professional absolutely minimal. Here, we are explaining how the central air conditioner works.
Before working on a central air conditioner, always turn off the power to the condenser at the service panel, as shown below. The condenser also typically has a 240-volt weatherproof disconnect box located near the unit; this contains a lever, fuses, or a circuit breaker to shut off the condenser. Turn this off, too.
(Note: The condenser contains a capacitor that stores an electrical charge and can be dangerous; allow about a half hour for the charge in the capacitor to dissipate. As an added precaution, avoid touching all electrical components. The furnace or air-handler cabinet often has a separate switch or a circuit breaker in the main electrical panel to control it. Shut this off, too.)
