Tips for your air conditioner

Regular and proper maintenance of your air conditioner ensures longer life of the cooling system, safety, saves money in the future, protects nature from pollution. let's take a look at some of the tips for maintenance and safety for your air conditioner tailored to the climate in Bulgaria.

The coast

Salt corrosion

Living on the coast is a dream - the sunrise, the cool breeze, and the beach a few meters ahead. however, when it comes to air conditioners, the possibility of salt corrosion increases many times over!

The aluminum in the coils of your air conditioner is protected with a micro layer of aluminium oxide.

The sea air covers the coils of your air conditioner.

Salt, or more precisely chloride, alters the protective properties of the oxide, causing irreversible damage, causing the aluminum to decompose completely.

This process is accelerated by high temperatures and humidity.

TIP: reduce corrosion by removing salt from the outdoor unit with water every day

URBAN

OVERHEATING

In inner city areas, high summer temperatures can make your air conditioner make strange noises for hours.

If the air conditioner is not well maintained, its additional load can lead to overheating or worse - damage to the compressor.

LEAVES, GRASSES, DUST

Clean all leaves and debris on and around the outdoor unit of your air conditioner so as not to obstruct the airflow, thus preventing the possibility of fire.
