•    It is important to check and see that there are no leakages in the condensation tube and ensure the condensation tube is draining freely.

•    The compressor, which is outside, should be cleaned by spraying water on it with a hose.
•    There should be open space for adequate airflow, all around the unit. You should keep plants at least a foot away from the air conditioner unit.
