If you’re like most people who live in the Frisco area, you eagerly anticipate the barbecues and outdoor recreation that comes with the arrival of the warmer months of the year. After a day in the sun though, there’s nothing quite like the relief of a nice and cool home. But that relief goes right out the door if your air conditioner doesn’t come on when you flip the switch. You can easily stop your home from turning into a blazing inferno by scheduling an annual A/C inspection. Your system should be checked before you need to turn it on and before the start of an HVAC contractor’s busy cooling season. Discover why A/C tuneups are so important, and what happens during a typical service call.
Benefits of a Well Maintained A/C
- It will operate as energy efficiently as possible, helping to reduce your monthly utility costs.
- A well maintained system is vital for good indoor air quality.
- Unnecessary wear and tear is prevented and your A/C’s life is extended as long as can be.
- An energy efficient system is healthier for the environment.
A/C Inspection Checklist
- The thermostat settings are examined to see if your A/C will keep your home feeling comfortable when you’re there and go into energy-savings mode when you’re not.
- The system controls are looked at to make sure there’s no safety concerns and that they’re functioning correctly.
- Lubrication is put on all of the moving parts to prevent excessive and unneeded electricity use caused by friction.
- Electrical connections are tightened and the current and voltage of the motors are measured to verify they’re working safely and properly.
- The condensate drain is checked for anything that may be clogging it. Plugged drains can lead to water and humidity issues.
- To prevent restricted airflow, the blower components are cleaned and adjusted.
- The evaporator and condensing A/C coils are cleaned to avoid system inefficiency.
- The level of refrigerant is checked to ensure the right amount. This helps prevent early system failure.
