Central Air Conditioner Maintenance
Central Air Conditioner Maintenance
Some like it hot… but maybe not that hot! No doubt you will be depending on your central air conditioner to keep you and your family comfortable for a few more months to come. Make sure you keep “old reliable” working in top shape so you aren’t caught heading to the mall to cool off because your central air conditioner decided it was time for a break.
Like any machine, a central air conditioning system must be serviced regularly to provide optimum and dependable performance. Without regular maintenance, a system can lose approximately 5 percent of its original efficiency for each year of operation. One good thing, any lost efficiency can be recovered with a thorough tune-up performed by a trusted professional. Consider implementing a regular maintenance schedule to keep your system running at peak performance, to reduce the risk of facing major and costly repairs in the future, and the increasing energy bills that can result through its neglect.
Your service inspection call should include: cleaning condensing unit coils, oiling fan motors, checking the compressor’s amp draw, and checking the Freon coolant level, adjusting all belts and inspecting for wear, examining system operating pressures and temperatures against manufacturer’s specifications. It is recommended that an air conditioner’s Freon levels are checked every year. A system that is low in coolant will yield higher operating costs.
Ensure a high level of comfort and system operation between service calls by replacing air filters at least every other month. Routine maintenance of your central air conditioner will pay for itself; eliminating costly repairs, and allowing for efficient and dependable operation overall.
