Air conditioning and air conditioning systems must be serviced regularly

Air conditioning is a great invention. And not just in the hot summer months. They also ensure a pleasant living climate in winter thanks to their heating or dehumidification function. What many homeowners don't know: Air conditioning systems need to be cleaned and maintained regularly. And this is usually easier than it might sound.

Cleaning the air filter

One of the most important „maintenance tasks“ is the regular cleaning of the air filter. In particular, the air filter must be removed to remove germs and bacteria that accumulate there over time. It is usually located directly behind the ventilation grille and can be easily removed. Simply refer to the operating instructions. Once removed, you can clean the filter with warm soapy water and disinfectant over the sink. Once it is dry after washing, it can be reinserted. Important: When heating with the air conditioning system, the air filter is particularly stressed and should therefore be replaced after the winter. Replacement filters are available for most devices at any DIY store.

In addition to the air­fil­ter, the con­den­sa­tor of the air conditioning unit and the drain­hose for the con­den­was­ser require regular cleaning and disinfection. The con­den­sa­tor is a heat­me­thawing­oven in which the heated­oil­with­tel releases the heat­me to the ambient­air. The heat and moisture present there is suitable for the removal and dispersion of germs. Baumärkte und „Ferreterias“ verkaufen spe­zi­el­le Schaum­sprays, mit denen Bak­te­ri­en, Mikro­or­ga­nis­men und Schim­mel­spo­ren eliminates. Con­den­sa­tor and ventilation­sys­tem are thus des­in­fi­cated. Where to find the con­den­sa­tor and the drain­hose can also be found in the operating­an­lei­tung.
