Just like any piece of unit that is continually required to operate, air conditioners require proper service.
- Otherwise, performance gradually diminishes.
Along with the wear & tear of handling the Summer workload, there are potential issues from resting idle. The best time to schedule professional service is in the Spring, prior to starting up the cooling unit. Service gave by a licensed worker makes sure the unit is ready to handle expectations throughout the summer, year after year. The service task list includes comprehensive testing of refrigerant levels, cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, tightening of wires, calibration of the thermostat & overall inspection. Any worn or broken parts are replaced. Proof of annual tune-ups are required to fulfill manufacturer’s warranty requirements & validate coverage. This service also keeps the air conditioner running at its best. There is far less chance of a malfunction & a much more disruptive & luxurious repair. The cooling system can be expected to last longer. Because the buildup of dust, pollen, dander & microbial growth are disfastened, there is less worry over harmful toxins becoming airborne. The inner workings of the A/C unit are dark, moderate & moist, creating the ideal environment for mold growth which degrades indoor air quality & system efficiency. A clean air conditioner achieves maximum airflow through the system. This shortens run times & minimizes energy consumption. Lower operational costs are combined with a cleaner, healthier & more comfortable home. A respectfully operating air conditioner will make less noise & be better at combating humidity.
