How To Properly Maintain Your Air Conditioning System
There are two separate components that make up a central air conditioner. They are the evaporator and condenser. Usually, the condenser unit is located on a slab of concrete on the exterior of the home. In the main duct over the furnace on in the plenum is typically where the evaporator coil is mounted.
A majority of central air conditioners connect with the forced-air distribution system in a house. Therefore, the ductwork, blower, and motor that are used for heating the house are also used for distributing cool air out of the air conditioning system. Whenever the central air conditioner is working, the hot air within the house flows into the furnace via the return-air duct. The blower moves the hot air across the (very cold) evaporator coil inside of the plenum. (This removes the heat from the air) which is then is delivered via the ducts in order to cool down the house. Whenever the air conditioner is operating, but the house does not end up cooling down, that usually means there is a problem with the distribution system.
The condenser and evaporator are both sealed. For this reason, our licensed technicians should be called in to handle all maintenance except for very routine, basic cleaning. Before the start of each cooling season, a central air conditioning system should be professionally adjusted and inspected.
However, the annual checkup is not the only thing you should do. What makes us the company air conditioning repair customers have counted on for 70+ years and running, is consistency. We offer a number of maintenance plans that you can stick to, making sure your system continues to operate at its optimal efficiency level.

Simple Ways to Maintain Your AC Unit
Whether it is central air or ductless air conditioners, frequent maintenance can keep your overall repair bills down. The condenser unit on a majority of AC installs are located on the outside part of the house and tends to accumulate debris and dirt from airborne dust, lawn mowing, and trees. There is a fan on the condenser that moves air over the condenser coil.
Cut any vines, weeds, or grass down that are growing around your condenser unit; these materials may obstruct airflow and indoor air quality. Protect your air conditioner from pets. If there is a cover, remove it first. Running the air conditioner with the cover on will kill the unit. Hose off the unit, attempting to clean the serrated surface of the unit inside the grills. Test your air conditioning on the first warm day to ensure its’ operation. If it does not come on or does not produce cold air, check your breakers, check your thermostat settings, and finally call a friendly service technician.
During fall and winter, you should protect outside condenser units from the weather in order to prevent ice damage and leaf blockage. Place a condenser unit cover over the unit that has been designed to fit the shape of your unit or take heavy-duty plastic sheeting and use a sturdy cord to secure it.
About North York, ON
North York is one of the six administrative districts of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located directly north of York, Old Toronto and East York, between Etobicoke to the west and Scarborough to the east. As of the 2016 Census, it had a population of 869,401. North York was created as a township in 1922 out of the northern part of the former township of York, a municipality that was located along the western border of Old Toronto. Following its inclusion in Metropolitan Toronto in 1953, it was one of the fastest-growing parts of the region due to its proximity to Old Toronto. It was declared a borough in 1967, and later became a city in 1979, attracting high-density residences, rapid transit, and a number of corporate headquarters in North York City Centre, its central business district. In 1998, North York was amalgamated with the rest of Metropolitan Toronto to form the new city of Toronto and has since been a secondary economic hub of the city outside Downtown Toronto. == History == The Township of North York was formed on June 13, 1922 out of the rural part of the Township of York. In the previous decade, the southern part of York, bordering the Old City of Toronto had become increasingly urbanized while the northern portion remained rural farmland. The northern residents increasingly resented that they made up 20% of York's tax base while receiving few services and little representation in return, particularly after 1920 when their sole member on York's council, which was elected on an at-large basis, was defeated.
