AC maintenance in Irmo
Get your cool on, keep your cool on!
Regular air conditioning maintenance is the most cost effective and simplest ways to ensure that your house is cool and reduce the need for costly ac repairs. There are a few things that you can do at home to maintain your air conditioner like cleaning the vents and replacing air filters. However, without regular professional maintenance your air conditioning unit can lose up to 5% efficiency per year of use.
What are the steps for maintaining an AC?
Having regular maintenance for your air conditioner is very similar to getting the appropriate tuneups on a car; you invest less up front to prevent paying multiple times more later on a repair or even a new replacement unit. Below are a few of the check ups and cleaning that goes into maintaining an AC unit:
- Check electrical controls and components. There may not always be something that needs to be fixed immediately, however problems can arise at one point and not present themselves until a later date when its too late. Checking the controls and components regularly is a good way to make sure that problems don't get addressed when its too late.
- Check for leaks and freon levels. Since freon does not need to be replaced regularly in air conditioner systems, if the freon levels are low it is because there is leak. Freon can be toxic to the air and so it is against the law to add more freon without fixing the leak.
- Clean evaporator coils and condenser.
- Oil motors as needed. For a similar reason that cars need oil changes every three months, air conditioners need to have the moving metal parts oiled to prevent damage to the equipment.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check and replace filters as needed.
- We also offer duct cleaning to improve indoor air quality and efficiency of the unit.
