Air conditioners are an essential requirement for the people in Hertfordshire due to extreme heat waves. The residents should get the unit serviced before the summer season and enjoy relaxing in the cool environment. They can hire air conditioning contractors in Hertfordshire for servicing and maintenance of the unit.

Apart from professional servicing, you can also follow some tips to ensure the smooth functioning of the unit.

Regular Cleaning

Due to dust deposition on the fins, the cooling efficiency of the unit is reduced. Your AC fins are very fragile and can easily crush or bent. You should use a soft-bristle brush to clean the fins.

Install one more In-line duct booster

If your AC is not properly cooling your room, you can add a duct booster fan. It will increase the cool airflow into the room. Depending on the model, you can control it manually or set it to automatic operation.

Deal with the noise

Sometimes the compressor produces noise that can irritate your ears. So, buy a sound blanket as your model requires or a universal blanket which you can easily install.

Buy a programmable thermostat

In the AC, you set the temperature as per your requirement. The AC will continue cooling at the same temperature until you change it. A programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature for different timing throughout the day.                      

Condensate Drains

The drains of the AC unit might get clogged over time. To prevent this, use a wire and run it through the drain. If the drains are clogged, the unit will not be able to maintain humidity level and excess humidity can result in discoloration of carpets and walls.
