A RAC unit sometimes operates in more exposed environments. Air drawn into the unit may include a greater amount of dust, dirt or other pathogens than a comparable split system, putting more strain on the filters and making other parts of the system clog more quickly.
If the filters are poorly maintained, the finned cooling coil and blower fans will also build up with dirt putting more strain on the compressor and making the whole system less responsive to the hot days that are likely to be experienced soon.
The filters provided in a window or wall RAC air-con unit can be rapidly accessed making their removal quite simple and should be washed at least every 2-3 weeks.
Major parts of the RAC unit will perform better if the filters are well maintained because the compressor and other parts of the system will not be working beyond their capacity.
If your lifestyle is too busy or you would like Alliance Climate Control technicians to assist with maintaining your RAC unit, we can complete a full service wash of the filters with our own proven microbial solution.
This will keep your filters cleaner for longer, reducing the chance for dust and dirt to lodge in the fine mesh which in turn keeps other parts of the system cleaner and operating more efficiently.
We can also perform a full health check on your system at the same time checking the compressor operation, condensate drain and many other parts of the system to ensure the good health of your RAC unit.
If you would like to arrange a scheduled visit from an Alliance Climate Control technician, call us now, we can have our technician there very soon to make sure of your comfort in the coming hot summer months.
