Air Conditioning Maintenance Saves Money

Proper air conditioning maintenance can help your unit last decades. On the flip-side, a neglected air conditioner loses roughly 5% of its efficiency each year that it operates without upkeep. So that green machine you bought to stay cool could start to function like the most inefficient thing on the market, if you fail to perform regular air conditioning maintenance.

Filters and coils are both parts that require regular maintenance for your air conditioner to operate effectively and efficiently. Neglecting your unit leads to poor air conditioning performance and increased energy consumption. And regular maintenance is far less costly than repairs or a replacement.

By keeping your unit operating at peak performance, you will recover any money invested in upkeep by lower repair costs and savings on your electric bill.

Both the homeowner and a professional can accomplish different aspects of preventative air conditioning maintenance. Homeowners can:

·         Regularly make sure the condensing unit located outside is not covered up or clogged with leaves or debris. The unit needs to breathe, to draw air into the system.

·         Change the filters regularly.

·         Do not use a hose and water to try to clean the interior of the unit. Cleaning the unit in this way can lead to serious risk of electrical shock and possible shorting of electrical components.


One last word of advice in regular air conditioning maintenance to consider is having your ducts properly sealed.
When cooled air leaks from supply ducts, or when hot air creeps into return ducts, this can lead to wasted energy,
and an overworked air conditioner.

Our Professional Air Conditioning Servicing Includes:

1.Condenser Coil fins will be cleaned as required.
Benefit: Dirty condenser coils raise refrigerant pressure higher than needed, increasing your electric bill. 
2.Evaporator Coils will be cleaned
Benefit: Evaporator coils become dirty because air filters collect only a portion of the particles in the air. Even a small amount of dirt can decrease efficiency and increase operating cost. This is also a major cause of compressor failure. 
3.Blower Motor will be cleaned 
Benefit: Dirty blower motor reduces air flow, causing longer operating time and increased cost. This problem can lead to lost in comfort and compressor failure. 
4.Refrigerant Charge will be checked. 
Benefit: A low or high refrigerant charge can easily go unnoticed and increase operating cost. An improper charge can cause compressor shutdown.  
5.Air Filter will be replaced. (High quality Pleated) 
Benefit: A restricted air filter can cause your air conditioning and heating unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor's life. 
6.Belts and Pulleys will be inspected and adjusted as required.
Benefit: Loose belts worn pulleys decrease air flow, increasing operating cost and shorten the compressors life. Belts may crack and break with age.
7.Lubrication of motors and bearings.
Benefit: Improperly lubricated rotating equipment will eventually fail.
8.Thermostat will be checked.
Benefit: Improper calibrated thermostats all the unit to run longer than necessary. Every degree your air conditioner operates bellow 75 degrees can add 5-8% to the cost of cooling.
9.Controls and Safety Devices will be inspected and tested. 
Benefit: Controls and safety devices that do not function properly can increase operating cost and cause further complications. 
10.Condensate Drain will be checked. 
Benefit: Algae can plug a condensate drain which can cause expensive water damage. 
11. Relays and Contractors will be inspected.
Benefit: Worn contact and loose wire connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.
12. Unit Disconnect will be inspected.
Benefit: A worn or overheated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous.
13. Unit Warning will be inspected and loose connections tightened. 
Benefit: Loose connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure. 
14. Temperatures and Pressures will be taken and recorded. 
Benefit: An accurate record of your equipment's vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated.
15. Duct Work will be checked for leaks and proper installation.
Benefit: Duct leaks may exist from the time it was installed. Unrepaired duct work problems can increase operating cost.
