What to Expect with AC Maintenance

7/22/2019

20 Comments

 
Summer is upon us and it’s time to crank up the air conditioning in your house. But the last thing you want is to be stressed out over your air conditioning unit. The best way to avoid the stress is by getting a routine AC unit maintenance check. This maintenance can extend the lifespan of your AC unit, greatly improve your indoor air quality and reduce the cost of your electric and repair bills. So what can you expect from an AC maintenance?


Your AC Maintenance Appointment
We know how important your AC unit is to you and we want the unit to give you the best possible performance. When you schedule an appointment you can expect to have a visual inspection of your heating and cooling units. Often times dust and particles can build up on the outside, which can be an indicator of a major problem. Next, you can expect us to give a fan assessment to check for any damage that might have occurred to the motor or blades.

One of the biggest indicators of poor indoor air quality is the condition of the air filter. If the filter is in great shape, there should be no need to replace it. We’ll make sure your air filter is up to our standards. Sometimes poor air can be attributed to the ductwork as well. We want to make sure there are no problems with the supply of air, the return air or the exhaust air.

It’s important to be cautious of clogs or blockage that might occur in your system. We’ll make sure to give you a condensate drain examination to make sure everything is flowing freely. If your AC system isn’t working properly, it might be because of certain electrical connections. A wire might be loose or just simply not connected. We’ll give you a proper electrical inspection to make sure we didn’t miss anything. One of the most important parts in your AC system is the evaporator coil. It works by using a refrigerant inside the coil to evaporate air that passes over it. It can work in both the winter and summer.

Thanks for pointing out that it is important to be cautious of clogs or blockage that might occur in the HVAC system. I would imagine that any business owner would want to provide customer satisfaction. I think they should look for contractors who can provide commercial heating services and maintenance every six months at an affordable rate.

Thanks for pointing out that we need to be aware of clogs that might happen in our heating unit. As you mentioned, it gives us the assurance that the air is still flowing freely around it. I will keep that in mind now that I need to hire HVAC contractors to check our unit for any repair or maintenance needs now that we've been on this property for about five years now.

Thank you for reminding us that when our heating system is showing signs of repairs, it is best that we call a technician to have it inspected. That way, the technician can advice us the best course of action. I will definitely keep this information in mind when I look to have a technician hired to evaluate my heating system.

My heating system has been having a hard time controlling the temperature in my home, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It makes sense that I would want to get a professional to perform some maintenance for me! I can see how they would be able to ensure that everything is handled correctly.

I never knew that if your air conditioner isn't operating properly, it might be due to faulty electrical connections. It's possible that a wire is loose or not connected at all. I never thought that it would be like this, I'll share this with my aunt. Thank you for the information about the refrigeration service.

It's good to know that the state of the air filter can identify if you have poor indoor air quality. We want to ensure that the air quality inside my home is always at its best. With that said I'll make sure to hire an HVAC contractor to take care of our AC installation.

You’ll have sufficient time to do so before the next cooling season. Plus, regular HVAC maintenance allows professionals to catch small problems before they become large,

I've always wondered what's been causing the poor air quality we have here at home, so reading your article really helped me out. Indeed, this has only been happening whenever I turn on the AC unit, so I can really see that something is going wrong with that unit. I'll definitely ask an HVAC expert to help me figure out what's wrong with it so all this dust can stop forming.

It's great that you elaborated that if you have a proper functioning heating system, your electricity cost would be normal. A couple of days ago, my brother told me they were having issues with their heating system as they were hearing strange noises, and he asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to do. Thanks to this helpful article, I'll be sure to tell him that it will be much better if they consult a trusted heating system repair service as they can provide proper repair and preventative measures.

The main job of the evaporator coil is to cool the refrigerant so that it can absorb the heat. As the fan blows air over the coil, the refrigerant becomes cold and turns into a vaporous state.

When it comes to AC maintenance, there are a few things that you can expect. First, you should expect to have your AC unit inspected on a regular basis. This will help to ensure that it is operating properly and that there are no potential problems. You should also expect to have your AC unit serviced every few years. This will help to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. Finally, you can expect to pay for AC maintenance services. However, these costs are typically very reasonable and can save you money in the long run by preventing major repairs or replacements.

We appreciate you mentioning that when you make an appointment, your heating and cooling systems will likely receive a visual check. My father stated that our house's heating system is not blowing hot air. I will advise him to have a heating service inspection.

Thanks for helping me understand that the clogs and blockages have to be monitored, because they can happen in your system. I will keep that in mind and hire an HVAC company to check the system for me every year. Doing so will probably protect me from unexpected expenses in the future which can affect my budget.

Regular service visits will ensure your system has proper ventilation to keep the air quality in your home clean and free of irritants such as allergens and dust.
