Maintaining Your Air Conditioner

If you want your air conditioner to give you effective and efficient cooling through its over-decade of service life, then you must stay on top of routine maintenance. A lot of this maintenance can be done by the property owner. For example, clean and replace dirty filters once every few months and clean the evaporator coils and condenser coils at least once a year. You can even purchase a “fin comb” to comb aluminum fins on the coils back into their original positions.

Other maintenance items might be better left to trained and experienced technicians. Our qualified technicians can:

• Check refrigerant levels and leaks
• Test the accuracy of the thermostat
• Inspect electrical terminals
• Make sure the heating system and cooling system can NOT operate simultaneously
• Oil motors
• Check the condition and tightness of belts and connections
• Measure airflow through the evaporator coils

Time for A Replacement?
