A/C maintenance by the home owner

I always get asked by the homeowner what they can do as preventative maintenance on their a/c system. The only thing you can do, and it's highly important, is to replace your air filters often (between 2-3 months) and if accessible, pour a cup of bleach down your drain line.

Replacing your filters results in keeping your coils clean, making you avoid the costly repair of getting your coils chemically cleaned and also makes your system run at its highest efficiency.

Pouring bleach down your drain line breaks up any gunk buildup in your drain line and keeps it free and clear, preventing it from clogging up and getting water overflowing onto your ceiling or floor.
