Air
conditioner maintenance tips
In preparation for the cooling season,
clean the condenser coils on your window
or through-the-wall air conditioner. Remove
the entire cover of the air conditioner
to gain access to the coils. Watch out for
wasp or bees nests inside the unit.

| |
The coils can be cleaned by blowing
compressed air at them or by using a soft
bristle brush to wipe the dirt off. While
you have the unit open, be sure to clean
any dirt or lint build up in the bottom
of the air conditioner, and oil the motor
if it is equipped with oil ports on the
sides.
Now's a good time to clean or replace the
air conditioner filter. Depending on the
air quality, this may need to be done monthly
throughout the cooling season. If you need
to replace the filter, try our
electrostatic filter cut-to-fit material,
which will fit many air conditioners.

Dehumidifier
maintenance tips
Get your dehumidifier
ready for the cooling season. Check to see that the humidistat is set correctly. If you
set it too high (low humidity), the unit
may run continuously, which is unnecessary.
Try our
hygrometer
to determine the correct setting for your
humidistat.
