AC maintenance can reduce repairs and depreciation
One of the most cost effective and easiest ways to keep your house cool, reduce air conditioner repairs, and ensure safe operation, is to have regular maintenance performed on your AC unit. There are a few ways that you can maintain your AC unit at home like changing the air filter, cleaning the vents, and cleaning the AC unit outside. However, in order to avoid losing up to 5% efficiency per year it is important to have a a licensed technician maintain your air conditioner.
What steps are involved in air conditioning maintenance?
Just like the maintenance of a car, air conditioning maintenance is a step taken that costs less up front in order to prevent a more costly repair in the future. Not to mention repairs also mean that you have to go without air conditioning services until the unit is fixed. Below are a few of the steps and checkups that go into maintaining an AC system:
- 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 air conditioner maintenance is one of the ways to ensure steady cooling in your home and prevent the unit from breaking down, sometimes there is not much that can be done to prevent every problem.
