When using an air conditioner, it is very important to clean it from time to time. Cleaning an air conditioner gets rid of the accumulated dirt and dust and improves the performance of the unit.
From the aesthetic sense, cleaning also makes the air conditioning unit look spick and span. For cleaning an air conditioner, the essential tools that are required are a tin can, a vacuum cleaner, a long handled brush, an oil can, rags, detergent or other cleaning chemicals and screwdrivers and spanners.

Although split air conditioners are easier to install than window air conditioners, one should consult an expert before doing anything. It looks all so easy to install and disassemble a split air conditioner but the best option is to let an expert do it or even if someone wants to do it themselves, then do it in front of an expert.
To install the split air conditioner, the first job is to install the condenser unit. The condenser unit stays in the open, out of the house. Since outside air circulates through the condenser unit, there should be ample space around the unit. There should be at least 12 inches of space between the condenser unit and the wall of the house. 12 inches should also be kept free on both sides of the condenser.
After the proper space is selected, the pad should be laid on the ground, a check should be done to see that the pad is on even ground and then the condenser unit should be put on top of the pad.

Air conditioners are of two types. There are the window air conditioners and the split air conditioners. Functionally speaking, there is no major difference between a window air conditioner and a split air conditioner. Both are used to cool rooms. However, there are some differences technically.
A window air conditioner is a single unit. All the parts of the air conditioner reside within that one unit, including the compressor. In a split air conditioner, as the name suggests, the parts of the air conditioner are split.
The condenser is usually fitted outside the house or the room in which the indoor unit is installed. The condenser also contains the compressor. Refrigerator coils and PVC lines run from the condenser to the indoor unit.
