Summer is upon us!  Air conditioners are being fired up in homes and offices all around Long Island.  Will they work?  Better yet will they work efficiently?  Here are a few tips to give your air conditioner system a quick tune up:

  • Most important thing you can do for central air conditioning systems is change the filter every month… if you have window units, you should clean the filter every month
  • On central air conditioning systems, clean the condensation drain line yearly.  That small drain line is a magnet for sludge and algae!  To clean it, simply pour an 8 ounce cup of 50/50 bleach and water down the drain line access hole, let it sit for about 20 minutes, then flush it out with water.
