Most central AC units only last about 12 to 15 years before they need to be replaced, but at an average cost of $2,500 to $4,000 or more to pay for a new central air conditioner you might want to try taking a few steps to keep your AC running for as long as possible. You may want to test your air conditioner now while there's still time to fix any potential problems. If you do find a problem you might want to try some easy ac trouble shooting tips before calling in a repairman. Here are some things you can do to keep your central AC unit in decent working condition: Keep Your AC Unit Clean: There's a big box with a fan in it outside your home that's responsible for most of your AC's cooling. It's important to keep the condenser clear and make sure there is nothing blocking the airflow. Things like grass, bushes and even kids toys can all damage an AC if left against the condenser. Make sure you aren't blowing anything against it when you mow your grass. Keep your AC Cool: The U.S. Department of Energy recommends planting trees or some sort of shade structure around your central air conditioner unit so that it doesn't have to work as hard to cool the coils inside it. Putting your AC unit in the shade will reduce how hard it has to run and some estimates place the energy savings at nearly 10%! Some high-end and commercial AC units actually have sensors in them that can adjust to higher temperatures. Check your Air Conditioner Frequently: Giving your air conditioner a quarterly "check up" will really help keep it running. First, you'll need to change your home air filter every three to six months. These filters can get blocked with air particles and limit the amount of cold air you're getting in your house. A very blocked filter can actually break an air conditioner unit and require it to be fixed. By taking care of your air conditioning unit all year long, it will take care of you during the hottest part of the year and you'll end up saving money in the long run. Use common sense and take a few minutes here and there to make sure your AC is working well and you're sure to have a cool and happy summer.
