Did you know that regular maintenance can extend your AC’s lifespan by up to 5 extra years? Most costly breakdowns can be avoided with simple 15–30 minutes checkups each month.
As LG Pro Dealers certified by LG and Klima NY in the HVAC industry, Triple A Plaza has been trained in the latest maintenance protocols and best practices. That’s why we created this easy-to-follow seasonal cleaning calendar to help you keep your AC running smoothly — without needing to be a technician.
📌 Download this calendar and keep it near your AC.
It’s a small habit with big results.
Month 1 – Filter & Vents Check
Clean or replace the air filter
– Rinse it with warm water, let it dry, or replace it if needed
– Do this more often if you have pets or allergies
Dust indoor vents and grilles
– Wipe them down with a dry cloth or vacuum to remove buildup
Bonus Tip: Mark your calendar so you don’t skip it next month.
Month 2 – Drain & Remote Check
Check for leaks or moisture
– Look for water near the unit or a musty smell
– Clean the drain tray (if accessible) and make sure the line isn’t clogged
Test your remote control
– Replace batteries
– Check the sensor connection
– Try resetting the unit if it’s unresponsive
Bonus Tip: A dripping AC may just need a simple drain line flush.
Month 3 – Outdoor Unit Cleaning
Clear debris around the condenser unit
– Remove leaves, dirt, or trash blocking airflow
– Keep 2 feet of clearance around the unit
Gently clean the coils and fins
– Use a soft brush or vacuum
– Don’t use high-pressure water
Bonus Tip: Do this before the hottest months begin (late spring or early summer).
Keep it consistent = Keep it cool
