Elgin, SC Air Conditioning Maintenance
AC maintenance service for Elgin
Regular maintenance can reduce AC repairs and depreciation.
As with any large machinery, regular maintenance is one of the most cost efficient and convenient ways to keep your home cool, reduce expensive repairs, ensure safe operation, and reduce depreciation. There are several things that you can do to maintain your air conditioner at home like cleaning the vents, cleaning the outside unit, and changing the air filters. However, without regular professional maintenance your ac unit can lose up to 5% efficiency per year that it is used.
What all goes in to air conditioner maintenance?
An air conditioner is similar to a car when it comes to regular maintenance; you pay less up front to prevent having to pay multiple times more later when a repair or even installing a new AC is necessary. Below are several of the checkups and cleaning that go into maintaining air conditioners:
- Check for leaks and freon levels. Freon in an air conditioning system is not the same as a car where the fluids like oil need to be replaced periodically. If the freon in your unit needs to be replaced, chances are you have a leak that needs immediate attention.
- Check electrical controls and components. Even when there is not an emergency problem that needs fixing, our technicians will identify and correct any possible problems so that your ac service can operate uninterrupted.
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils.
- Oil motors as necessary. Since there are many metal parts that are moving in an ac system, the motors require fresh oil to avoid serious damage.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check filters and replace as needed.
- Clean the ducts of clutter. Air ducts gain dust and debris over time that can block the air flow from the HVAC system. Having the ductwork cleaned every so often is important to ensure efficiency.
While air conditioning maintenance is a great way to ensure steady cooling in your house and prevent annoying break downs, sometimes it is inevitable that your unit will break down. If you experience a lapse in ac service, call us today at 803-772-4490 for 24 hour emergency air conditioning repairs and we will send one of our technicians to fix the problem immediately.
