How to Maintain Your Air Conditioner for Maximum Efficiency – Pharos Tech Guide

Your air conditioner is one of the most important appliances in your home. With simple maintenance steps, you can keep it running efficiently, reduce electricity consumption, and avoid costly repairs.

Here are the top tips from Pharos Tech to extend your AC lifespan and maintain peak performance.

1) Clean the AC filter every two weeks

 

A dirty filter reduces cooling efficiency and increases electricity usage.
Cleaning is easy:
Open the cover → remove the filter → wash with water only → let it dry → put it back.

2) Set the temperature between 24–26°C

 

This range is the most energy-efficient.
Setting the AC to 16°C does NOT cool faster — it only puts extra load on the compressor.

3) Keep doors and windows closed

Any air leakage forces the AC to work harder and consume more power.

4) Perform maintenance every 6 months

This includes:

  • Checking for gas leaks

  • Measuring refrigerant pressure

  • Cleaning indoor & outdoor coils

  • Inspecting copper pipes and insulation

  • Checking compressor amperage

Pharos Tech provides full professional AC maintenance.

5) Pay attention to unusual noise

Loud or different noise may indicate:

  • Dirty outdoor unit

  • Fan problems

  • Loose screws

  • Low refrigerant

Fixing early prevents bigger and more expensive issues.

6) Keep the outdoor unit clean

 

Dust reduces cooling performance and stresses the compressor.
Rinse the outdoor unit with water once a month (not high pressure).

7) Check insulation and copper pipes

Damaged insulation means higher electricity bills and weaker cooling. Replace it immediately if worn out.

Conclusion

A few simple maintenance steps can keep your AC working efficiently for years and save you money.
