The secret to a cool summer without surprises
Have you cleaned your air conditioner yet?
Summer is just around the corner! And with it, those relentless sunny afternoons that make us rush straight to the air conditioner to escape the heat. But did you know that this beloved appliance can become your worst enemy if you don’t prepare it properly before use?
Yes, we’re talking about air conditioner cleaning. It may seem like a boring task or that “it will work by itself,” but in reality, it’s key to keeping your home fresh, healthy, and free from unpleasant surprises.
Forecast of higher temperatures: the importance of a well-maintained air conditioner
This summer, higher than usual temperatures are expected across the country and also in the Costa Brava, where the Mediterranean heat can be intense. That’s why having your air conditioner in optimal condition is not just a matter of comfort but a necessity.
A clean and well-maintained unit guarantees efficient performance, cools quickly, and prevents overloads that could cause failures or increased electricity consumption.
Why is it important to clean the air conditioner before summer?
With high temperatures, having a well-functioning air conditioner is essential. But before turning on the unit after months of inactivity, it is crucial to perform proper cleaning. Here’s why.
Goodbye to bad odors and accumulated dust
If your air conditioner has been idle for months, dust, dirt, and even mold can accumulate inside. When you turn it on without cleaning, get ready for all that dirt to fly through the air.
More fresh air and less electricity cost
A clean air conditioner works better, cools faster, and consumes less electricity. This means you’ll enjoy a fresh and comfortable environment while saving money on your electricity bill. Who doesn’t want that?
Take care of your health and your loved ones’
Dirty filters are magnets for pollen, bacteria, and mites, and can cause allergies or respiratory problems, especially in sensitive people. That’s why cleaning the air conditioner before use is essential to maintaining healthy air at home.
Your air conditioner will last longer
Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and extends the lifespan of the unit. This way, you avoid calling the technician just when you need the air conditioner to work perfectly during those hot days.
How to clean the air conditioner?
You don’t need to be a professional, but it is advisable to check and clean the filters regularly with a vacuum cleaner or water, depending on the model. For a thorough cleaning and to avoid problems, it’s best to hire a professional technician at least once a year.
