3 Signs that Your Air Conditioner Needs IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
We are lucky that we are living in Malaysia as we get to enjoy the sunlight almost every day. Living under the hot weather also makes the air conditioner one of the essential electrical appliances in each household. While we are heavily dependent on the air conditioner for a cool and comfortable environment, how many of us actually takes good care of them?
According to our study, almost half of Malaysians seek for service only when their air conditioner broke down and most of the time, they need to fork out additional money to replace the unit. If you do not want this situation to happen to you, it is important for you to take note on the 3 signs mentioned below and call in the expert (if needed) to salvage the air conditioner before it is too late.
When You Start Smelling Foul Smell
You clean up your room daily, yet there is still foul smell each time you switch on the air conditioner. This indicates that there is bacteria and mold build-up in the unit. They usually stay in the evaporator coils and also the filter, thus when you switch on the air conditioner, the air goes through the bacteria and molds build-up in your unit causing the air conditioner to emit foul smell.
Please DO NOT take this issue lightly as the bacteria and molds is extremely harmful to our health especially to people who are suffering from asthma, allergies or with weak immune system!
When You Notice Water Leaking
When you start seeing water dripping from the air conditioner inside your house, then it is not normal. Please do not just use a pail to collect the water, instead look for an air conditioner specialist to come and check on it. It might be due to the damaged drain pan or some installation issues causing the leak. Sometimes, it might also indicate that the air conditioner needs to be clean. Build-up of algae, dirt, dust and other debris can clog up the unit causing the water to spill out from the condensate drain pan and back to your house instead of flowing out to the place it suppose to go.
When Your Air Conditioner Is No Longer as Cool as Before
If your unit is not cold, you may try to withdraw the filter and clean it with water. The dust collected in the filter over time might be the culprit. However, if this does not work, then it is time to engage expert to perform the thorough chemical cleaning to restore its efficiency. A chemical wash ensures that those unreachable part will be cleaned as well.
We usually suggest our customers to engage the SmartService Air Conditioner Chemical Wash at least once a year in order to maintain the efficiency of the unit, to prolong the system’s lifespan and also for a better air quality for your family. If you are a heavy user, it is recommended to chemical wash your unit twice a year. Fret not, the SmartService Chemical Wash uses an eco-friendly and non-smelly cleaning agent.
At Taion SmartService, we believe that everyone deserves to have a good quality of air at all times!
