Air Conditioning Service, Repair & Maintenance

admin |

Today, we live in a world that relies heavily on heating and air conditioning. We have become accustomed to having our indoor climate regulated, and comfortable. So while we usually take this for granted, here is a short overview on HVAC.

Service

Getting your system serviced does not mean you need to wait until there is a problem. Actually it works best if you have your system gone over twice a year, in the spring and the fall. This maintenance keeps your system cleaned, lubed, topped up, and checked out on a regular basis. The cost of having this done is readily recouped in your energy savings over the season. It also usually keeps you from having a surprising problem mid-season.

Maintenance Contracts

Maintenance contracts are available for either 1 or 2 year terms, at reasonable prices. This provides seasonal tune-ups, cleanings and inspections, that will extend the life of your heating and cooling system. All manufacturers recommend that you have your system serviced bi-annually to keep it safe and operating at peak performance. If after this you need repairs done to your system, you are then a priority customer. This means not only will we rush to service your unit when necessary, but you also receive a 10% discount on repairs.

Repair

This is for when your system is either not maintaining temperature, or when it makes you worried. Do not ignore strange noises, odors, or any changes in how your unit is functioning. Catching a problem early can mean it is more likely an easy fix. If you put if off, you are more likely to need your unit replaced and soon.

Replacement

This is not a comfortable thought, but these units do have a lifespan. Eventually you will need a new one. When you do, you want the assurance that you are getting the best unit available at a reasonable price. If you are getting your service work done, it is less likely for this to come as a surprise. Finding problems early gives you a chance for scheduling repairs or replacement during the off-season.

The filters for your AC are on the intake side of your system. Keeping these cleaned or replaced on a monthly basis will keep the rest of your system cleaner as well as the air you breath.

The registers are the delivery point of your AC system. If you have visible dust, you will want to wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth. If you have moisture visible there, you can have mold trying to grow in your duct work.

Clear any plant growth, grass clippings, old leaves, or anything else that is blocking the outside portion of your AC unit. Make sure the power to the unit is off before trying to clean anything inside of the unit such as around the fan. Don’t forget to turn the power back on afterwards.

The foam insulation sleeves that protect the coolant lines get worn or go missing over time. The insulation sleeve is easy to cut with a utility knife, and the sleeves are available at any hardware store. This is a simple fix and will prevent loss of energy and help your power bill.
