You need to regularly check for leaks in your air conditioning unit as even a small one will cause the whole system to fail over time. This is because air conditioning units have a chemical called a refrigerant sealed inside them, and they will only work efficiently if there is an adequate amount of that chemical. The more that leaks out, the less efficiently the unit will run, and eventually it will just stop altogether. As well as checking for leaks, you also need to regularly clean the filter in your air conditioner. This should be done at least monthly. What the filter looks like, and where it is located, will depend on the type of air conditioning unit that you have. If you have a central air conditioning unit, the filter will be made of rubber and will be located on the top or bottom of the unit, depending on the type of model that you buy. If you have a window type air conditioning unit, then the filter will be a thin mesh screen and will be located near to the intake of the unit. For a central air conditioning unit, it is advisable to switch off the main circuit breaker for the unit before you access the filter to prevent any injury. Once the rubber filter is removed, clean it with hot soapy water in a sink, and then let it dry thoroughly to prevent the build up of mold. For window type air conditioning units, first switch the power off and then remove mesh filter. If the filter is particularly dirty you can use a combination of a vacuum cleaner and soapy water to remove the grime that has built up. Make sure that you leave the filter to dry fully before re-inserting it back into the unit. You should also consider paying a qualified air conditioning unit technician to assess your unit every 12 to 18 months. They will check, clean and make minor repairs to each of the main components of your air conditioner, which you cannot access yourself. The cost of hiring a professional technician will be around $100. If you think that it is not worth paying someone to do this for you then you are mistaken, as if you do not get it properly checked over every now and again then it will break down much sooner than if you did.
