Category: Senior Living

Author: Joseph Moe, Plant Operations Director

An important rule to remember when it comes to making sure your air conditioner works well, is to clean or change the air filter regularly. The purpose of the filter is to help clean the air coming into your home, it’s like a net catching all the tiny particles floating in the air. New or cleaned filters keep your AC happy and working nicely. The manufacturer or installer should suggest how often to service filters; however, if you live in a place with a lot of dirt and dust, you will want to clean the filters more often.


At The Madison Senior Living we understand the air conditioner needs good, quality air to do its job efficiently. Clean air filters allow the air conditioner to cool the community better, making both residents and staff feel more comfortable.

Air conditioners are also smart, they are like robots notifying if something is wrong and even what is wrong! Just like you need regular visits to the doctor for a check-up, your air conditioner needs regular maintenance. Having an HVAC professional check your air conditioner on a regular basis is the best way to keep it smart and keep you cool on those hot summer days.

Some activities that are done to maintain the HVAC systems at home and work are changing air filters and cleaning the coils. The benefit of maintaining your HVAC system is having a system working properly throughout the year, as well as cleaner air for happy residents. Properly maintaining the HVAC system also cuts down on costly repairs and inconveniences to both residents and staff when the system is down.

Besides changing filters at your house or office, some additional tasks you can do to maintain your HVAC is to inspect the blades and blower, check for leaks, and lubricate moving parts.

Changing air filters is one of the most important maintenance tasks completed to extend the efficiency and life of air conditioners. Checking and replacement of filters should be completed on a regular schedule. Filters are much cheaper than air conditioner units.
