In order for the climate equipment to work uninterrupted for a long time, it is necessary to carry out timely refueling and maintenance of air conditioners. A professional installation does not protect against refrigerant leaks, the equipment resource is depleted, various kinds of malfunctions appear. The most common reason for calling masters is a refrigerant leak. Often enough cleaning and refueling the air conditioner to return comfort and coziness to the room.
Why is it necessary to refuel and clean the air conditioner?
Refueling and repair of air conditioners are carried out by specialized companies and self-taught masters. The second ones charge significantly less for their services. But they do not give much guarantee.
During the year, at least 8% of the refrigerant evaporates from the air conditioner. If inaccuracies are made during installation, this figure increases significantly. The lack of 15 - 20% of freon is already noticeable at work: cooling capacity is reduced. And the compressor at the same time works to its fullest. Ice blocks appear on the outdoor unit.
Cleaning the air conditioner is no less important, a favorable environment is created inside the enclosure for the living and reproduction of pathogenic agents. If you do not wash the coarse filters for a long time, the air flow will noticeably decrease.
It takes 20 minutes to 2 hours to refuel and clean the air conditioner. Before them, it is necessary to conduct diagnostics that determine the places of leaks and possible malfunctions. As well as evacuation - cleaning pipes from liquid, air, possible mechanical impurities.
Cleaning and refueling air conditioners is a standard service of all service centers. By signing a service agreement with them, the client automatically also receives diagnostics.
When should I refuel the air conditioner?
Refueling and maintenance of air conditioners are necessary in the following cases:
- after lengthening the freon track;
- with poor rolling during installation;
- after repair of a freon pipeline or outdoor unit of an air conditioner;
- when there are signs of a lack of refrigerant.
The main signs of a lack of refrigerant (the need to repair and refuel the air conditioner) include poor air cooling and freezing of the snow coat at the pipe joints and the outdoor module.
When should I clean the air conditioner?
The following signs indicate the need to clean the air conditioner:
- musty smell at startup;
- weak air stream at the exit;
- poor air cooling.
More often you have to clean the equipment if it is located at a low height relative to the ground, with high humidity, with strong dust and air pollution.
