Living in Bali means enjoying the tropical climate, but those hot and humid days can make your air conditioner work overtime. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your AC unit running efficiently and effectively. At Bali Home Fix, we believe in empowering Bali homeowners with knowledge to make informed decisions about home maintenance and home improvement services. Here are some DIY tips for maintaining your air conditioner!

1. Clean or Replace Filters Regularly

Dirty filters restrict airflow, reducing efficiency and potentially leading to higher energy bills. Check your filters monthly and clean or replace them as needed.

2. Keep Exterior Units Clean

Debris like leaves, dirt, or grass clippings can clog the outdoor unit’s fins, hindering airflow. Clean the exterior unit regularly to ensure optimal performance.

3. Inspect the Drain Line

A clogged drain line can cause water to backup and leak. Check the drain line regularly and clear any obstructions.

4. Check for Leaks

Inspect the unit for any signs of leaks, such as water pooling around the base or dripping from the unit. Leaks can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed.

5. Schedule Professional Maintenance

While DIY maintenance can help keep your AC running smoothly, it’s important to schedule regular professional maintenance. A technician can inspect the unit for any underlying issues and perform necessary repairs or tune-ups.

Additional Tips

• Set Your Thermostat Wisely: Avoid setting your thermostat too low, as this can lead to increased energy consumption and higher bills.
• Close Windows and Doors: When using your AC, ensure windows and doors are closed to prevent cool air from escaping.
• Consider a Programmable Thermostat: A programmable thermostat can help you save energy by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule.
