People buy health insurance to ensure good health. If you don’t have it, you pay big when there’s a problem. When you do have it, it’s easier to get checkups to find out if anything needs attention.
The same goes for A/C equipment. Preventive maintenance protects your air conditioner, increases efficiency and establishes healthy conditions for a long life.
Getting a preventive maintenance plan from your local A/C contractor gives you several things in return:
- Peace of mind, knowing that your equipment operates as it should
- Lower utility bills
- A longer life for your A/C
- Less risk of potentially hazardous conditions, because your contractor can troubleshoot problems before they turn into a big deal
- Priority service
- Other perks, like discounts on repairs and appointment reminders
Once you enroll in a preventive maintenance plan, you can expect your trusted contractor to thoroughly check your air conditioning system every spring, before the summer starts. A reputable contractor will inspect these areas:
- System and thermostat settings, so you know that the A/C cycles on and off properly and that the system responds to the thermostat’s set temperature.
- Electrical components, lubricating parts that come into contact with each other and setting the motor’s currents and voltage
- The condensation drain, because a drain that operates poorly can lead to problems with moisture
- Evaporator and coils, looking for dirt buildup that can negatively impact efficiency and the system’s lifespan
- Refrigerant levels and the air blower, because deficiencies in either affect efficiency
