Professional air conditioner maintenance involves a number of procedures that include oiling fan motors, adjusting belts, cleaning condensing unit coils, checking coolant levels etc. The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) recommends specific guidelines for AC maintenance that can increase energy efficiency. For instance, if the coolant in your air conditioner is only 10% below the commended amount, you will notice that your operating expenses are at least 20% more. A professional annual AC maintenance program can keep your unit functioning efficiently, prevent future problems, and catch minor problems before they blow up into major ones. Besides, regular HVAC maintenance can increase the life span of your unit. An air conditioner that is well maintained will also suck out excess moisture from your home, keeping humidity levels low, and preventing the growth of mold. In fact, you can quickly recover the cost of your HVAC preventive maintenance program in the form of lower operating costs and repair expenses.
Central air conditioner maintenance involves a few simple tips. The most important task is to clean the filters regularly, or get them replaced. A filter that is packed with millions of dust particles can obstruct air flow, and drag down the efficiency of your air conditioner. Besides, these dust particles may be carried by air into the evaporated coil where it can impact the heat absorbing capacity of your coil. During peak season, your filter must be replaced at least every month. Check hose connections regularly, and look for leaks. Keep the outside compressor clean by hosing it, and vacuum air vents and registers frequently. Place your furniture and curtains away from registers, and keep plants away from the unit to allow optimum air flow. Hire an air conditioner maintenance technician to conduct a complete servicing and tune up of your unit at least once a year. Preferably, get your unit serviced just before the cooling season begins.
Investing a small amount in annual AC preventive maintenance can lead to substantial savings in repairs and operating costs down the line.
