Air Conditioning Maintenance Can Reduce Repairs to Keep You Cool!
Having regular maintenance is one of the most cost effective and easiest ways to keep your house cool, reduce air conditioning repairs,
and ensure safe operation. There are a few things that you can do to
maintain your HVAC at home like cleaning the vents, changing the air
filter, and cleaning the AC unit outside. However, without regular
professional maintenance your air conditioner can lose up to 5%
efficiency per year that it is used.
What all goes into air conditioning maintenance?
Maintaining
your air conditioning is very similar to maintaining a car; you pay
less up front to prevent having to pay multiple times more later when a
repair or even a new AC installation is needed. Below are a few of the check ups and cleaning that goes into maintaining an AC unit.
- Check for leaks and freon levels. Freon in an air conditioner does not work like a car where the oil and other fluids need to be replaced regularly. If freon needs to be replaced, it is most likely because there is a leak. It is prohibited by law to replace freon until the leak is actually fixed.
- Check all electrical controls and components. Even if there is not an immediate problem that needs to be fixed, our technicians can identify and correct potential problems so that your AC service can operate uninterrupted.
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils.
- Oil motors as needed. Since there are many metal parts moving in an AC unit, the motors require fresh oil to avoid damage.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check filters and replace as needed.
- We also offer air conditioning duct cleaning to improve indoor air quality.
While AC maintenance helps to ensure steady cooling in your home and prevent the unit from breaking down, sometimes there is nothing that can be done to avoid a problem. If you experience a broken air conditioner, call us at 803-772-4490 for 24 hour emergency AC repairs and service and we will send one of our experts to fix the problem right away.
