Most Americans drive their car everyday. Since this is typically their mode of transportation, they want to make sure it’s reliable. Due to that fact, people usually take their cars to the shop about every three months for an oil change. You wouldn’t think twice about it because you want a smooth, uninterrupted ride. The same thing applies to your air conditioner but instead of an oil change, it’s a tune up. It’s the simplest thing you can do to help maintain your comfortable all season long. Smaller issues can be caught before they turn into large, expensive problems. This need to happen on your air conditioner once a year. Your standard air filter needs to be changed out monthly.
You can actually save yourself time, money and frustration by having regularly scheduled tune ups. They reduce the possibility of a breakdown by 95% and can cut your utility bill by up to 25%!
During a tune up, the technician should be checking the following:
- Condenser coil
- Voltage and amperage on motors
- Blower Components
- Condensate drain
- Operating pressures for proper refrigerant charge
- Thermostat calibration
- Safety Controls
- Correct air flow
- All electrical connections
- Starting contactor assembly
- Air temperature at evaporator coil
- Belts
- Condenser temperature
The technician should be also be changing your air filter, lubricating all moving parts and making adjustments where necessary.
