Common AC Maintenance Mistakes That Reduce Its Efficiency

Laforma Team May 15, 2024

Is your AC not cooling as it should? You might be making one of these common maintenance mistakes.

The Problem: Poor Cooling & High Bills

An inefficient AC not only fails to cool your home but also drives up your electricity bills significantly.

The Causes

The most common mistakes are not cleaning or replacing filters regularly, ignoring the outdoor unit, setting the thermostat too low, and skipping professional annual check-ups.

Practical Solutions

Clean or replace your AC filters every 1-2 months. Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris. Set your thermostat to a reasonable temperature (e.g., 24°C) to avoid overworking the unit.

When to Call a Technician?

If your AC is making strange noises, leaking water, or blowing warm air despite basic cleaning, you need a professional. An annual service by a qualified technician can prevent most major issues.

If you need a practical inspection, you can contact the Laforma team.
