AC maintenance reduces costly repairs and depreciation
One of the most cost effective and easiest ways to reduce the chance of costly repairs and depreciation is to have regular maintenance on your air conditioning system. There are a few things that you can do to maintain your air conditioner at home like cleaning the vents, cleaning the outside AC unit, and changing your air filters. However, without maintenance performed by a licensed technician, your air conditioning unit could lose up to 5% efficiency per year that it is in use.
What all goes into air conditioner maintenance?
Just like the maintenance of a car, air conditioner maintenance is trade off where you pay less up front to prevent having to worry about costly repairs that can cause you to be without air conditioning service. Below are a few of the common checkups and cleaning that goes into AC maintenance.
- Check freon levels for leaks. Freon in an air conditioner is not like oil in a car where you need to replace the fluids periodically. If the freon levels are low then chances are there is a leak that requires immediate attention.
- Check all electrical controls and components. Even when there is not an immediate problem in need of fixing, our technicians will identify and correct potential problems that could get much worse if not handled up front.
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils.
- Oil motors as needed.
- Calibrate the thermostat.
- Clean and seal ductwork as needed.
While air conditioning maintenance is a great way to ensure steady cooling in your house and prevent the system from breaking down, sometimes there is nothing that can be done to prevent a problem. If you are experiencing a broken air conditioner, call the heating and cooling experts at 803-772-4490 for 24 hour emergency air conditioner repair and we will send one of our technicians out to fix the problem right away.
