Is your air conditioner ready for summer? As winter fades and warmer weather comes, it’s time to inspect your air conditioner to make sure it performs properly when hot Southeast Texas summer days arrive. Most manufacturers recommend that heating units be inspected in the fall and air conditioning units be inspected in the spring each year to make sure that the system operates efficiently.
Preventive Maintenance
Seasonal tune-ups examine all components of a heating and air conditioning system. The most common reason that an air conditioner stops working is a dirty filter. Filters capture airborne particulates and prevent them from entering the HVAC unit. In ducted systems, filters prevent dust and particulates from entering the ducts and being circulated throughout the living space. Air must flow freely over the compressor and condenser coils for efficient cooling. Dust and debris in the system covers the coils, affecting performance. A well-tuned HVAC system uses less energy and controls humidity and temperature effectively, enhancing indoor comfort. Preventive maintenance prolongs the life of the unit and reduces the occurrence of breakdowns.
An air conditioning tune-up includes:
- Checking refrigeration levels
- Oiling all moving parts including fans and blowers
- Inspecting belts
- Cleaning drip pan and tubing
- Cleaning or replacing the filter
- Checking wiring and connections
- Calibrating thermostat
- Cleaning coils
- Ensuring that the unit cycles on and off properly
