As a new homeowner, I can tell you that things aren't always as simple as they appear. I started thinking about it a few years ago, and I realized that there were some serious problems with our plumbing system. We had issues with drains working correctly and toilets flushing like they should, so I started focusing more heavily on understanding the basics of our plumbing system. Within a few short months the entire system was operating more fluidly because of a few changes that I made, so I wanted to create a blog all about my journey. Check out these articles to learn more about the plumbing basics.

Don't Do Maintenance On Your Air Conditioner? Why You Should
Jorge Alexander
An air conditioner is an appliance most people can live without, but it's a really nice convenience to have in your home. It will keep you cool all season long, but only if you take care of your appliance properly. If you aren't caring for your air conditioner by doing routine maintenance, you may be setting your appliance up for failure. All appliances need care and maintenance, and just because this appliance is not a necessity, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be performing proper maintenance on it. Read on for reasons why you need to maintain your air conditioner if you aren't doing so.
To Prevent Premature Breakdowns
Prevent premature breakdowns of your appliance by performing routine maintenance on your system. A system that isn't maintained may end up breaking down long before its lifetime is up. This is going to end up costing you quite a bit of money to replace your system — money that could have been saved had you just done the routine maintenance on your air conditioner in the first place. Failing to maintain your system could cause the system too much in order to keep up, causing it to end up breaking from overuse.
To Prevent Costly Repairs
Even if your system doesn't run until it breaks completely and needs to be replaced, it may end up breaking down and needing repairs. These repairs are going to add up with time, especially if you have to do constant repairs to your system. Regular maintenance on your appliance can prevent this from happening and will cut down on the amount of repairs you will need over time. You may still need minor repairs as time goes on, but you may miss out on major issues.
To Keep Your Household Air Clean
If you aren't maintaining your air conditioner, the air inside your home may not be nearly as clean as it should be. If you pull out your air filter and it's heavy and loaded with dust and dander, think about how much of that is also in the air you are breathing. Maintenance of your system, such as cleaning the unit itself and replacing the air filter monthly are just a few things you should do to keep the air clean in your home. This can prevent irritation of health issues you already have, such as asthma or allergies.
