What Is Preventative Maintenance?

With proper maintenance, your air conditioning system should last you for over ten years. Regular maintenance will help you identify small issues before they become large and costly. Below are some of the key components of your air conditioning system we will inspect during a preventative maintenance visit include:

• Condenser Coil: will be cleaned as necessary
  • Value To You: Dirty condenser coils can raise refrigerant pressure higher than necessary, increasing electric bills.
• Blower Wheel: will be inspected and cleaned as required.
  • Value To You: Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and increased cost. This can lead to comfort issues and compressor failure.
• Refrigerant Charge: Will be checked and adjusted as needed.
  • Value To You: An over or undercharged system can easily go unnoticed, again increasing your operating cost. In addition, an improper charge can cause compressor shut down.
• Air Filter: will be replaced at customer’s option.
  • Value To You: A restricted filter can cause your air conditioning unit to waste electricity, shorten the compressor’s lifespan, or even prevent your unit from turning on. Dirty filters can contribute to poor indoor air quality as well.
• Unit Disconnect: Will be inspected.
  • Value To You: A worn or overheating disconnect can blow fuses, not to mention, is dangerous to family members.

In addition to the above components, your air conditioner will be thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and tested. Because dirt is the main reason for equipment failure, regular air conditioning service will almost eradicate the need for emergency repair. Preventative maintenance will also help delay the more expensive option of air conditioner replacement. Give us a call to schedule regular maintenance for your system. We’re here to help.
