AC Maintenance for Cayce
Regular maintenance can reduce repairs and keep you cool!
Air conditioning repairs can be a headache in terms of the effect on your wallet as well as the comfort of your home. Regular maintenance is the best way to reduce the chance of a broken AC unit as well as increase the health and longevity of the air conditioner. There are several things that you can do at home to keep your air conditioner running smoothly 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 conditioner is very much like maintaining a car; you pay less up front to prevent having to pay much more later when a repair or even replacement air conditioner is needed. Below are a few of the check ups and cleaning that go into maintaining an AC unit.
- Check for leaks and freon levels. Freon in an air conditioner is not like a car where oil and other fluids need to be checked and replaced regularly. If freon needs to be replaced, chances are there is a leak.
- Check the electrical controls and components. Even if there is not an immediate problem, potential problems can be discovered and prevented before it costs much more in the future.
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils.
- Oil the motors. There are many moving metal parts in an air conditioning unit and oiling the motors regularly helps avoid damage.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check and replace filters as needed.
While regular air conditioning maintenance helps ensure steady cooling, longevity, and reduce need for repairs, sometimes there is nothing you can do. No matter what time of day or night, if your air conditioner breaks down call Comfort Services at 803-772-4490 and we will have your system up and running in no time.
