HVAC Repair & Maintenance
Extend the Lifespan of Your AC System w/ Regular MaintenanceWhile your AC system may seem like it’s running OK, it’s important to get regular maintenance. Below are a few reasons why this is a wise decision.
Ensure Your Condenser Coil Is Working
The condenser coil is responsible for cooling your AC’s refrigerant and changing it into a liquid. After this happens, it goes back into your home, and you get to enjoy cool, refreshing air.
As you can guess, the condenser coil works very hard during hot temperatures, and as with everything, it can suffer wear and tear. Plus, they’re situated outside, which means they’re prone to getting dirty.
When this happens, it gets more difficult for your condenser coil to do its job. This means the refrigerant gas stays a gas and doesn’t turn into a liquid.
So while your AC system may sound like it’s still working, it may be pumping out hot air. Regular maintenance will ensure this doesn’t happen.
Gets Rid of Debris
Debris may build up in your AC over time, and that can get into the unit and clog up the system. It may not be noticeable at first, so this clog can quickly become a major problem that causes damage to your unit.
Ensure Coolant Levels Are OK
As the name suggests, the coolant is also responsible for making sure you get cool air in your house. While it won’t run out over time, it may become depleted because of a leak.
Some signs of coolant leak are ice on the indoor coil, warm air, or a hissing sound coming from your unit. You may have a leak even without any of these signs, so that’s why it’s important to get regular maintenance. By finding small problems early on, you’ll avoid costly repairs in the future.
Catch Failing Parts BEFORE They Break
Not only will your air conditioning go through wear and tear, but it may also become slightly unbalanced in its parts, for whatever reason. This can lead to broken, damaged, or chipped spots in your AC system.
Again, this may not be immediately noticeable to you. But if you keep running your AC unit and don’t get it checked, these damaged parts can cause your entire air conditioning to break down. This can result in a necessary but expensive AC replacement.
Check the Seals Are Tight
Over time, the seals on your AC system may loosen. When this happens, your air conditioning may be working harder than they need to. Not only can this cause your unit to prematurely break down, but it can also drive up your energy bills.
With regular maintenance, you’ll get peace of mind knowing the seals are as tight as can be. That way, all the cold air your AC system is producing ends up in the rightful place: in your house, not inside the walls.
Check Your Thermostat's Working
When a thermostat is working perfectly, it should regulate your indoor temperatures at comfortable levels. But they may be faulty at times. They’ll either emit too much cool air, or not enough of it.
Either way, it can affect your comfort and your energy bills. During a routine checkup, a technician can quickly assess whether or not your thermostat’s working.
Extend the Lifespan of Your AC System
You might think that by skipping out on regular maintenance, you’ll be saving money. While this can be true in some scenarios, you’re taking a huge gamble. It’s the same as not taking out insurance because you think you’ll be 100% healthy your entire life.
As with preventative healthcare, AC maintenance ensures the “health” of your AC system is always optimal. As a result, it’ll last you for many more years.
