Regular home air conditioner maintenance is vital to the long life and sustained performance of your home-cooling equipment.
Experts recommend that you have your air conditioner serviced at least once per year to ensure that its mechanical and moving parts are properly calibrated, that airflow is optimized, that refrigerant levels are adequate and that the system is free of dust, dirt and debris.
Two of the most common causes of air conditioner underperformance are impeded airflow and depleted refrigerant levels. If you're noticing that your utility bills are rising, or if you notice uneven or inadequate levels of cooling in your home, your equipment may be suffering from one or both of these issues.
Air conditioners are calibrated for specific cubic feet per minute or CFM rates, and blockages in your ducts, vents and registers can create discrepancies between airflow rate settings and the actual amount of conditioned air being delivered. In addition, incorrect duct sizing can also negatively affect airflow, as the CFM rate will be reduced if your ducts are too small. These problems can add up to a great deal of wasted energy and send your energy bills skyward, so calling in a professional to perform maintenance or to diagnose the nature of airflow problems is essential to optimized system performance.
Refrigerant is also a key issue in air conditioner maintenance. Most refrigerant problems stem from low levels of the cooling solution, but it won't do to simply add more refrigerant to the system. To stop any leaks that cause refrigerant loss and to ensure that the system's refrigerant charge lines up perfectly with manufacturer specifications, it's wise to get the system professionally serviced.
The benefits of air conditioner maintenance are proven. You will enjoy reduced cooling costs thanks to optimized system efficiency, all while extending the life of your air conditioner and preventing future breakdowns and malfunctions.
