With warm weather finally here and plans for outdoor activities being made, it’s easy to forget about some of the less exciting chores that aren’t as obvious. One of these may be annual preventive maintenance for your air conditioner; not a topic of everyday conversation, but a subject that is extremely important to your home comfort throughout the spring and summer. If you forgot to schedule springtime maintenance for your air conditioner, it’s not too late to contact your local trusted HVAC service center for a seasonal tune-up that will keep your cooling system running efficiently.Professional HVAC technicians will perform maintenance tasks such as:
Filling refrigerant to required levels and check for leaks
Inspecting and sealing ducts to prevent air and energy leaks
Cleaning and servicing electrical connections
Lubricating fans, motors and moving parts
Checking belts for tightness and condition
Checking and adjusting the thermostat
Regular maintenance allows your HVAC pro to find any problems that need to be fixed before they can cause system breakdowns or other problems. You’ll be able to rely on your air conditioner to work when you need it and not fail when seasonal cooling demands increase and put additional stress on the system. A well-maintained system needs fewer major repairs, which saves you money.Regular maintenance also improves cooling system efficiency: Regular tune-ups can keep an air conditioner operating at up to 95 percent efficiency even as it gets older.Some types of maintenance you can do yourself, such as general cleaning on the air conditioner unit, vents and registers. Changing the unit’s filter is also a simple task. Regular filter changes help your air conditioner run more efficiently and reliably and decrease the possibility of breakdowns.Contact Air Assurance today for more information on how preventive maintenance and service can keep your air conditioner working at its best or to schedule a professional tune-up.
