It is important to keep the air conditioner in good condition – then it will last as long as possible. Do not forget about the prevention and diagnosis of split systems. About two times a year you need to call a specialist who will examine and conduct a diagnosis of the air conditioner. Serving air conditioners and split systems in two stages: they repair and diagnose an external unit, and also prevent the internal unit. It is recommended to serve the air conditioner either in the spring, immediately before intensive work, or in the fall, when the device is practically not used.
Of course, you can forget about service and hope for the quality and durability of the air conditioner. Maybe the split system will work for several years, but such operation always leads to deplorable consequences. And this will no longer result in an ordinary breakdown, but a serious problem, the solution of which will spend both nerves and money.
What breakdowns are most common? First of all, you should talk about the filters of the inner block. This is a simple small mesh that is located under the front panel – there is sucked air through it. Such a filter is needed to keep the dust and various pollutions, so as not to extend them to the conditioned room and not allow them to be in the radiator of the inner unit. If you do not care about the cleanliness of the filter, then after a while the radiator will fail and the pipelines will freeze. This will seriously hit the air conditioner: he will not be able to work at full power.
In order to avoid such a problem, you need to regularly, at least three times three weeks to clean the filter yourself. How to do this – described in detail in the instructions for the operation of the air conditioner.
Also, breakdowns are not uncommon due to the leak of the freon, which is normalized and inevitable, and can also occur due to improper installation. In the first case, the leak is unstressed, you just need to refer the freon regularly (about two times). But if the air conditioner is more incorrect, the problems are more: the freon flows completely, which leads to a compressor breakdown. Here you need to replace the compressor, which costs approximately half of the air conditioner. Therefore, you need to pay attention to hook or ice in the places of attaching copper tubes. Such signs are an occasion to contact the service center.
