Residential air conditioning became popular in the US in the 1950s. In fact, over 1 million air conditioning units were sold in 1953 alone. Now, billions of homes around the world use the AC, not just as a standard amenity, but as a necessity.
Through time, air conditioning technology has likewise gone past its function of keeping rooms cool and comfortable. It has offered a lot more to modern homeowners such as:
- Filtering indoor air and removing irritants such as airborne allergens and industrial pollutants
- Dehumidifying air as it cools
- Variable fan and speed settings
- Smart thermostats which make controlling AC energy use easier than ever
- Robust construction that can withstand tough weathers
Like any other appliances, the air conditioning system can serve you for a long time if it’s properly taken care of. It’s not as difficult and complicated as you might initially think.
You can maintain your air conditioner in three ways:
Changing the air filter regularly
The AC breathes through its filter, thus it struggles when the filter becomes clogged. Moreover, a dirty filter can wear out your fan prematurely and cause the fan to increase energy usage.
