How to Improve the Efficiency of Your AC While Saving Costs

Climate change is something we cannot ignore anymore with the temperatures in Dubai rising every summer to new heights. It is completely necessary to maintain an HVAC system which works in the best possible way so as to combat the summer heat. Whether you live in an apartment or a villa, there are some times where issues with the air conditioning cannot be avoided. You must always choose the best AC repair services in Dubai for prompt results. Below are some useful tips to improve the efficiency and overall lifespan of your HVAC unit:

Regular air duct cleaning

After a while of use in the humid and hot weather, the air ducts can accumulate dust, debris and contaminants of different kinds. When the power system is suddenly switched on these particles flow into the room and is dispersed into the air you breathe. For those people with dust allergies, this can be a terrible situation. Also, children and elders who are susceptible to allergic reactions need to be cared for. With a routine inspection and regular maintenance, ac duct cleaning can improve the efficiency of your unit greatly.

Inspect and replace filters if necessary

Every few months, whether it is summer or winter, you must check the functioning of the HVAC air filters. They can get dirty over time and this completely affects the air circulation. You can try and clean or even change the air filter yourself but if the cooling does not seem to work even after cleaning or replacing your air filter, then call a professional and get the coils checked.

 

Inspect the ventilation fins

Most of the time, the ventilation fins may be bent out of shape or damaged causing the air flow to be restricted. The best way to fix the issue is to make sure that all the fins are in proper order, but if you can’t do it yourself – you can always call a professional AC technician. Once this issue is fixed and the fans allow for proper air flow, there will be a significant increase in the efficiency of the HVAC unit.

Shade the exterior unit

Since the heat can become extreme during the summer months in Dubai, it is necessary to shade the exterior unit of the HVAC system from the sun. The efficiency index can rise by up to 10% when the exterior part of the air conditioning system is shielded from direct sunlight.

Clean debris from the exterior unit

Debris like bird feathers and other obstructions like trees or bushes should not be too close to the HVAC unit’s exterior system. The right practice is to maintain a two feet distance from the ventilation fans. Once all the debris is cleared, there is sure to be a spike in the efficiency of the AC system.
