The Importance of Air Conditioner Maintenance

Regular air conditioner maintenance is crucial to keep your unit running efficiently and to prolong its lifespan.

A well-maintained air conditioner will operate more efficiently than a neglected system, reducing your energy bills and ensuring your home stays comfortable throughout the hot summer months. Additionally, regular maintenance can improve the indoor air quality of your home by keeping your system’s filters and coils clean, reducing the circulation of dust and allergens.

What is an AC Start-Up Appointment?

An AC start-up appointment is a service call that occurs after the installation of a new air conditioning unit. During this appointment, our technicians will perform a series of tests and checks to ensure that your system is running correctly and efficiently.

What Happens During an AC Start-Up Appointment?

Here are some of the things that typically happen during an AC start-up appointment:

1. Check Thermostat Settings: The technician will check your thermostat settings to ensure that your system is functioning properly. They will also make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your system is running at optimal levels.

2. Inspect Electrical Connections: The technician will inspect all electrical connections to ensure that they are secure and functioning correctly. Loose connections can cause your system to malfunction or stop working altogether.

4. Test Safety Controls: The technician will test all safety controls to ensure that they are functioning properly. This includes checking the high and low-pressure switches, the temperature limit controls, and the safety shut-off switches.
5. Check Refrigerant Levels: The technician will check the refrigerant levels in your system to ensure that they are at the correct levels. Improper levels of refrigerant can cause your system to operate inefficiently and can even cause damage to your unit.
6. Inspect and Clean Coils: The technician will inspect and clean your system’s evaporator and condenser coils. Dirty coils can cause your system to operate inefficiently and can even cause your unit to break down.

Why is AC Maintenance Important?

Regular air conditioner maintenance is essential for the longevity and efficiency of your system. A well-maintained air conditioner will last longer and operate more efficiently than a neglected system. Neglecting your air conditioner can lead to higher energy bills, more frequent breakdowns, and ultimately, the need for a replacement system.

In addition to improving the efficiency and lifespan of your air conditioning system, regular maintenance can also improve the indoor air quality of your home. Dirty filters and coils can cause your system to circulate dust and other allergens throughout your home. Regular maintenance can help keep your home’s air clean and healthy.
