Maintenance
Preventive AC maintenance plays a big part in keeping your system running efficiently for years of use. Research indicates that a new air conditioner can lose up to 5% of its original efficiency for each year that it runs. So, within 5 years you may find your expensive high efficiency air conditioner functioning at least 25% below its original efficiency. With simple and regular home AC maintenance tips and a professional annual air conditioner maintenance program, you can keep your system running at up to 95% of its original efficiency. This can translate into huge savings over a number of years. Besides, HVAC maintenance also prevents air conditioner problems from creeping up by making sure that minor problems are caught and corrected in the earlier stages. Regular AC maintenance can also increase the life span of your unitr unit.
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.
