Chapter 4: Preventive Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Schedule Replace Air Filter A dirty air filter reduces the air volume and the system capacity. This problem can be avoided by periodically and regularly cleaning or replacing filters. The frequency at which filters must be checked depends on the amount of dust in the environment.
Chapter 4: Preventive Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Schedule Inspect and Clean Condenser Coils During times of peak usage, the condensing coils must be able to offer maximum thermal exchange. Debris such as paper, dead leaves, and dust can be sucked in around the coils, reducing the thermal exchange rate. Remove any objects from the coil which may have accumulated and wash the system with water and commercial coil cleaner.
