During those hot summer days, the air conditioning (AC) system is an invaluable unit that offers you relief from the unpleasant heat. Despite its importance, most people take these systems for 'granted,' assuming that they will always perform at their optimum level when needed. However, this isn't always the case.

However, steel presents its own set of challenges owing to corrosion hastened by the saline environment, so don't count out plastics just yet.
