Air conditioners are a necessity.
You can’t survive the long summer days without having the air conditioner to
cool your home. Fujitsu air conditioners are considered the best in Australia
when it comes to cooling homes and office buildings. However, even these air
conditioners can’t effectively provide cooling to you if they are poorly
maintained. Aircon maintenance is something that you shouldn’t neglect. Still,
most people don’t give much attention to it. A Fujitsu air conditioner is
supposed to save you money on your energy bills but if it is not maintained
regularly, it is going to do the opposite. So, how should you maintain your
Fujitsu air conditioner? Here is how.
Clean the Filters of the Indoor Unit
The indoor unit of a Fujitsu air
conditioner has filters located inside it which are there to prevent
dust particles from entering the air conditioner. This dust continues to
accumulate on the filters if the air conditioner is regularly used. Now, if
this dust is not cleaned from time to time, it is going to restrict airflow.
This restriction in airflow is going to cause the air conditioner to take
longer to cool the room. The air conditioner will run longer and thus, consume
more power, resulting in an increase in your energy bills. So, if you don’t
want all that then you should clean these filters on a bi-weekly or monthly
basis.
Remove Debris from the Outdoor Unit
Just like the indoor unit has
filters, the outdoor unit of a Fujitsu air conditioner has fins. These fins are
responsible for cooling the warm air coming from the indoor unit. If these fins
have debris on them or their movement is restricted then they won’t be able to
effectively cool the warm air. This will again cause the compressor of the air
conditioner to work overtime, causing a hike in the energy bills. A simple way
to avoid this is to make sure that the outdoor unit is debris-free and there is
nothing restricting the movement of its fins.
Invest in Professional Servicing
While cleaning the filters of the
indoor unit and removing the debris from the fins of the outdoor unit help,
they aren’t enough. You need to have your Fujitsu air conditioner serviced by a
professional at least twice a year. The professional you choose for this purpose
needs to be a licensed air conditioner technician. They can take a look at the
internal components of the air conditioner and make sure that everything is
working as it is supposed to be. Moreover, they can also detect and resolve any
issues that might be developing within the air conditioner.
Don’t Set the Temperature too Low
On hot summer days, you might be
tempted to set the air conditioner at its coldest setting. However, setting the
temperature too low won’t cool your home quickly. In fact, it will simply put
pressure on the system and can lead to a fault. This is why Fujitsu air
conditioners should be operated at temperatures higher than 23 degrees Celsius.
