Timely cleaning of an air conditioner is not too time-consuming and not too costly. But if not to do it, more difficult and more expensive repair is needed.

 

Causes and kinds of troubles

The conditioner blows warm air when the exchanger of the outdoor unit and filters of the indoor unit is clogged with soot, fur, dirt, dust, and other debris, floating from the street and coming from the premise. As a result, the compressor of the air-conditioner overheats and blows warm. Eventually, at some moment the compressor may jam.
