The first and most simple action to take to extend your air conditioners life is to change the filter. You ought to change it whenever it gets dirty. Depending upon the use, that could range from every three to six months. There are some filters out there which can last up to a year. Ask someone in the hardware store for More suggestions.

Once a year, make certain that you check the evaporator coil found inside the air handler to make certain there is no dust build up. When the weather starts to cool, you ought to check the outside of the air conditioning unit. You ought to check around the unit and make certain there is no debris on the surface area of the condenser, as that will stop airflow. Also, you ought to check between the fins of the condenser to see that its not congested with dead insects or pollen. Spraying the condenser with a hose will typically be good enough to get rid of all the particles.

Although numerous ac units today utilize direct drive motors, it is a great idea to check the belt in the air handler. You might need to replace it. If no change is needed, you might only need to oil the motor bearings once a year.

It is also good to check the contactors and other electrical parts; many of them are found inside the condensing unit. The contactor runs the compressor, and the contacts get pitted and need to be changed occasionally. Various manufacturers use different kinds of contactors, so review the manual to find exactly what kind you need.
