15 de septiembre de 2025

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. 

Your 3-Month AC Cleaning Checklist

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

Doing these simple steps once every 3 months helps you: 

✅ Save energy 
✅ Prevent breakdowns 
✅ Improve air quality 
✅ Extend the life of your AC
