Safely Storing an Air Conditioner
If you haven’t already, it’s that time of year when we pull out the air conditioners and await the dreaded cold to come. It’s important to properly remove and store your air conditioner because you may find that next summer it’s been damaged and will be in desperate need of appliance repair Brooklyn NY.
Removing the air conditioner is a must though. If you leave it in, you’re subject to cold drafts and the unit can be easily damaged by snow. After removing it, give it a good cleaning. Open the front to remove the filter. All you need is water to remove dust and dirt. It’s best to take it outside and use a high pressure hose. Let it dry completely as to prevent mold from growing before placing it back in the unit.
Always store the air conditioner upright and never on its side, to prevent damage to the compressor. Hopefully you kept the original box, but if not, you can place it in a plastic bag. You do not want more dust and dirt forming if left uncovered. If you take excellent care of your appliances, you’ll save yourself the trouble of Maytag repairs next season.
