Annual maintenance is the most cost-effective way to improve your year round comfort, save you money, and ensure that your central AC system is in good working order. If your HVAC system isn't providing the comfort you need, it may need maintenance. Not sure it's worth the time? Consider the following:
Dirt makes HVAC equipment work harder. Debris and dirty filters block airflow and increase energy use. You will save energy and lower costs by keeping the area around your HVAC equipment clean and by replacing dirty filters. Do these simple things yourself.
Check your filters once a month, and replace when needed. This simple task is one of the easiest and least expensive ways you can save energy and money.
Our flexible maintenance programs are tailored to suit your needs and budget. We offer a full range of air conditioning services, available daily, weekly, monthly, and on special request.
The main benefit of keeping your air conditioning equipment in peak operational condition through a maintenance program is: your system will operate continually for longer periods of time avoiding costly breakdowns and disruption to your home or business. A regularly maintained system also operates more efficiently and operating hours will be reduced, saving you energy costs. An air conditioning system, which is not maintained, is a liability to your home or business.
To improve efficiency and reduce costs even more, have our qualified A/C Quality technician perform the following services on an annual basis:
Check refrigerant charge and adjust if necessary. Your air conditioner has sealed systems filled with refrigerant, and they should be checked for leaks and level drop-offs. Improper refrigerant charge is a common source of problems in terms of system inefficiency.
A technician should also perform a check of the air conditioner's coils, fins, and related parts. Avoid the busy summer repair season, and schedule your annual maintenance service during spring.
If your air conditioner fails, it is usually for one of the common reasons listed below:
Refrigerant Leaks
If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, either it was undercharged at installation, or it leaks. If it leaks, simplyadding refrigerant is not a solution. A trained technician should fix any leak, test the repair, and then charge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant. Remember, the performance and efficiency of your air conditioner is greatest when the refrigerant charge exactly matches the manufacturer's specification, and is neither undercharged nor overcharged.
Inadequate Maintenance
If you allow filters and air conditioning coils to become dirty, the air conditioner will not work properly, and the compressor or fans are likely to fail prematurely.
Electric Control Failure
The compressor and fan controls can wear out, especially when the air conditioner turns on and off frequently, as is common when a system is oversized. Because corrosion of wire and terminals is also a problem in many systems, electrical connections and contacts should be checked during a professional service call.
Regular Maintenance
An air conditioner's filters, coils, and fins require regular maintenance for the unit to function effectively and efficiently throughout its years of service. Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning performance while energy use steadily increases.
New HVAC equipment represents a sizable investment for any homeowner. Therefore, it's natural for a homeowner to want to maintain that system so it can last 20 years or more. Consider signing an annual maintenance agreement with us. Regular maintenance allows you to extend the life of your equipment and avoid breakdowns and protecting your investment.
