Regular AC maintenance can prevent repairs and reduce depreciation
One of the best ways to ensure that your air conditioner has a long happy life and does not break down frequently is by having regular maintenance on your air conditioning unit. There are a few things that you can do at home in order to keep your air conditioner in good condition like cleaning the vents, changing the air filter, and cleaning the AC unit outside. However, without regular professional maintenance your air conditioning system can lose up to 5% efficiency per year that it is used.
What are the steps in AC maintenance?
Just like maintaining and tuning up an automobile, air conditioner maintenance is an essential tradeoff that favors a lower up front cost to prevent a costly AC repair in the future or even having to install a completely new unit. Below are a few of the steps and checkups that go into maintaining an HVAC system:
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Clean evaporator coils and condenser.
- Check filters and replace as needed.
- Check ducts for cleaning and sealing needs.
- Check freon levels for potential leaks. Freon in an air conditioner is not like the oil in a car that needs regular replacement. If there are low levels of freon, chances are there is a leak in the system that needs immediate attention.
- Check electrical components and controls. Even when there is not a pressing problem that needs to be fixed, our licensed technicians will identify and correct the problems before they turn into a major issue.
- Oil the motors as needed. Since there are many different moving metal parts in an air conditioning unit, the motors require fresh oil so that they don't get damaged in operation.
While having regular maintenance performed on your air conditioning unit is one of the best ways to prevent your unit from breaking, sometimes repairs are just inevitable.
