Preventive AC Service That Helps Your System Run Better
Annual spring maintenance can improve every aspect of your comfort and system’s performance. Another important point to consider is that many AC warranties require routine maintenance as a condition of full coverage. Without proof of that maintenance, a manufacturer can deny a claim on that basis alone.
There are many potential benefits to seasonal AC maintenance:
- Lower electric bills
- Better indoor air quality
- Longer equipment lifespans
- Less risk of sudden breakdowns
- Reduced total cost of ownership
- Smaller household carbon footprint
Seasonal Tune-Ups for Better Cooling Performance
Seasonal AC maintenance features a brand- and model-specific multipoint inspection. That includes testing the refrigerant pressure to ensure it’s within the ideal range. Even a refrigerant micro-leak can lead to much higher energy costs over the summer and damage other parts of the system. Another important aspect of energy savings is the cleaning of the condenser and evaporator coils. These coils are integral to the refrigeration process and accumulate grime over time. Left unchecked, that grime serves as an insulator, undermining comfort and increasing your energy costs.
Our experts also recommend routine maintenance because it can help you avoid major AC repairs. During a tune-up, we’ll lubricate moving parts and tighten electrical and mechanical components. Our technicians can also replace the parts that can wear out over time, such as wires, capacitors, ball bearings, and so forth.
Our team will calibrate your blower to ensure it’s achieving the optimal static air pressure in your ducts. We’ll test your thermostat and calibrate it if necessary. That process can include updating firmware and software and assisting you with setup. When we’re finished, we’ll provide you with a health status update, including documentation of the service for your records. Our technician will also be glad to answer any questions you may have and provide advice.
