Q: What does it mean to “recharge” my home air conditioning unit?

• <div><p>When your HVAC technician mentions recharging your home AC unit, they&rsquo;re referring to the process of topping off the unit with refrigerant, so the levels are properly maintained and pressurized. Normally, a properly functioning AC unit doesn&rsquo;t need additional refrigerant, but AC units can develop leaks or other problems that decrease the amount of refrigerant needed.</p></div>

Q: Can running AC too cold cause mold?

• <div><p>Yes, running your air conditioning unit too cold can cause condensation in the air ducts and built up moisture on the air filter, resulting in a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold and mildew growth can irritate those with respiratory issues, so it&rsquo;s best to keep your AC running at a normal temperature.</p></div>

Q: Do window AC units have problems with overcharged refrigerants?

• <div><p>They can, but it&rsquo;s not as common. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/troubleshooting-window-ac-problems.htm">Window AC units</a> are much smaller than whole-house systems and less likely to develop refrigerant leaks or similar issues. As a result, you will rarely need to add a new refrigerant, limiting overcharging problems. However, it&rsquo;s still important to leave refrigerant management in the hands of professionals when window units need work.</p></div>

Q: How often should my air conditioner be serviced?

• <div><p>To keep your air conditioner in good working condition, you should have it serviced by a professional at least once per year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. If your AC unit is 10 years or older, consider servicing it twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall) to catch potential problems early and help it reach its full lifespan. During a service visit, a technician will inspect, clean, and replace parts as needed. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs. As a DIY task, you can also clean the evaporator coils annually.</p></div>

Q: What kind of cover should I use for my AC?

• <div><p>You should use a breathable, weather-resistant cover with ventilation. It can be a top cover or a full cover that has mesh to allow airflow. A full, non-breathable cover can cause moisture to build up, leading to rust, frozen parts, and corrosion. A full cover also attracts unwanted critters, such as mice, that can damage the wiring and your unit. If you need to protect your AC unit from falling icicles, choose a sturdy top cover or piece of wood that prevents icicles from damaging your unit.</p></div>
