AC Maintenance for West Columbia
Regular maintenance can reduce repairs and keep you cool!
Regular air conditioning maintenance is the best way to reduce repairs, maintain energy-efficiency, and maintain the overall health and longevity of your AC system. There are several things that you, as a homeowner, can do to maintain your air conditioner like cleaning the vents, changing the air filter, and cleaning the AC unit outside. However, without the maintenance of a licensed professional your air conditioner can lose up to 5% efficiency per year of use.
What are the steps of air conditioning maintenance?
Just like maintaining and tuning an automobile; the maintenance of an ac unit works where you pay less up front to prevent having to pay multiple times more later when a repair or even a new air conditioning installation is necessary. Below are a few of the standard checkups and cleaning that goes into maintenance:
- Checking for leaks in freon levels. Freon in an air conditioning unit does not work like a car where the oil and other fluids need to be replaced regularly. If freon is in need of replacement in an AC unit, chances are there is a leak that needs to be fixed immediately.
- Check electrical controls and components. Even when there is no immediate problem in need of fixing, our technicians can identify and correct potential issues that can cause your ac to break down.
- Clean evaporator coils and condenser.
- Oil motors as needed.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check and replace filters as needed.
- We also offer ac duct cleaning to improve indoor air quality.
While regular AC maintenance helps to ensure steady comfort and prevent the unit from breaking down, sometimes there is nothing that can be done and a repair is necessary. If you experience a discontinuance in your air conditioning service, call Comfort Services at 803-772-4490 for 24 hour emergency ac repairs.
