AIR CONDITIONER

REPAIR

MAINTENANCEDo you really have to service the

A/C if there’s no problem with it?

There is that saying, “if it ain’t

broke, don’t fix it”, which may be

true, but if we want to keep

optimal performance from our

appliances, maintenance must

be made.

IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF SOME

TECHNICIAN’S WHIM, EITHER

EVEN IF YOU DON’T PERCEIVE ANY

DAMAGE OR MALFUNCTION IN YOUR

UNIT, THE USUAL ADVICE IS TO

HAVE THEM INSPECTED AND

CLEANED ONCE A YEAR, ALTHOUGH

SOME LIKE TO PUSH IT FOR TWICE A

YEAR DEPENDING ON USAGE

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU

CAN GUARANTEE PEAK

PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

HERE'S THE THINGwhile you are using your air

conditioner, certain areas of the

system gather dust and dirt. This

wouldn’t be a problem for some

time, but if you leave it as it is

indefinitely, this buildup will

lower the capabilities of you’re

A/C, downgrading its

performance. If the issue keeps

going, the system will develop

more serious problems.

IS IT WORTH THE INVESTMENT?In the long run, having your A/C regularly serviced will pay for itself. On one hand, this ensures that the energy efficiency works at top notch, which helps you reduce expenses on energy bills up to a 15%. On another hand, standard maintenance provided by a licensed HVAC expert will surely extend the lifespan of your system.

CAN’T I DO IT MYSELF?

Other aspects that a technician would check on during

maintenance include motor performance, dirty or broken coils and

fans, the blower, the drain line, supply lines and return lines, levels

of the refrigerant, connections, operating pressures and operating

temperatures.

There are certain things you can do to keep

your air conditioner operating in good

conditions, such as regular clean up and

even replacing filters when they are too

dirty, if you know how to do it. However,

you do need a professional for other

problems, which include refrigerant charge

or airflow obstructions.

THANK YOUfor your time!
