The fan must be a two speed fan, otherwise it will burn out faster. 2 speed fans are used especially when you have a HEPA filter in the system for air filtration.

How to Maintain a Central Air Conditioning Unit?
Purchasing a new central air conditioning unit will save you money on your electric bill. An old out of date unit might not be cooling the house suitably. Units that are more than ten years are usually not energy efficient and should be replaced. The outlays for a new unit might be costly, but will more than pay for itself by lowering your electric bills. To prevent future problems with your new central air conditioning unit, be certain to have your system maintained according to the warranty agreement. Contact a reliable air conditioning company in your area, and sign a contract for a once a year inspection of your air conditioning unit. How You Can Do Your Part in Maintaining the Unit and Keep It Running Cool? 1. Make sure that the central air conditioning unit is inspected before the temperature gets hot. Service contractors are normally tied up when temperatures rise by repairing air conditioning units that are not functioning at all. 2. Keep an eye on your room thermostat settings. The room temperature in the residence should read the same as what it was set at. If the thermostat is not working properly, and the house is extremely hot, contact your air conditioning contractor, and schedule a service call. 3. Inspect, change or clean the central air-conditioning filter once a month. If there are pets living in house, the filters might have to be changed more often. A clogged or filthy filter will cause the unit to work twice as hard to keep the home cool. How To Make Sure That The Air Conditioner Is Properly Servicing The Unit? 1. Watch to be sure that he is checking all of the connections inside of the central air conditioning unit. 2. Make certain that the contents inside the unit are being lubricated and do not make any noise. 3. Notice if he is checking for clogged drains. Drains that are clogged usually do not permit the water to flow freely to exterior of the air conditioning unit. 4. Be certain that he shuts down the system in the house completely and starts it up once again. This makes sure that the central air conditioner is cooling the house at your set temperature level. Generally, the air maintenance serviceman will clean the inner parts of the central air conditioner. This includes the coils. Additionally, he will add the proper amount of refrigerant if the level is low.
