Why is regular air conditioning maintenance important?
Regular air conditioning maintenance helps guarantee that our system runs efficiently and effectively. It can prevent breakdowns, extend the lifespan of our unit, and improve indoor air quality. Plus, it can save us money on energy bills by keeping the system running smoothly.
What does an air conditioning maintenance service typically include?
During an air conditioning maintenance service, we’ll inspect and clean the unit, check refrigerant levels, lubricate moving parts, replace air filters, and examine electrical connections. This thorough check-up helps catch any potential issues before they turn into costly repairs.
How often should we schedule air conditioning maintenance?
We recommend scheduling air conditioning maintenance at least once a year, ideally before the cooling season begins. This way, we can guarantee our system is ready to perform at its best when it’s needed most.
Can we perform air conditioning maintenance ourselves?
While there are some basic maintenance tasks we can do ourselves, such as changing air filters and keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris, it’s best to have a professional perform thorough maintenance. They have the expertise and tools to identify and resolve issues that we might not notice.
What are the signs that our air conditioning system needs maintenance?
If we notice strange noises, reduced airflow, increased energy bills, or unpleasant odors coming from our AC unit, it’s likely time for maintenance. These signs can indicate underlying problems that need to be addressed to keep our system functioning properly.
