Keeping your home cool during the hot summer months might seem like magic, but there’s science behind it. At Forquer Heating and Cooling, we’re here to explain how air conditioning works and share some essential maintenance tips to keep your system running efficiently.
Here’s a simplified overview of how air conditioning works:
- Indoor heat is absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator coil.
- The compressor moves the refrigerant to the outdoor condensing unit.
- The outdoor unit releases the absorbed heat, cooling the refrigerant down.
To ensure your air conditioner runs efficiently, follow these maintenance tips:
- Keep a clean furnace filter.
- Schedule regular preventative maintenance.
- Keep the outdoor condensing unit clean and free of debris.
Remember to also maintain proper clearance around your outdoor unit:
- Keep objects at least two feet away from the unit.
- Avoid building structures, like decks or fences, too close to the unit.
By keeping your air conditioning system well-maintained and clear of obstructions, you’ll enjoy a cool and comfortable home all summer long. Visit forquerheating.com to learn more about our services and schedule a maintenance appointment with our expert team.
