How often should your air conditioner be serviced? There’s an assumption that installation is the most important step of the air conditioning unit and that there is no need for maintenance. However, regular maintenance is what makes the A/C unit last longer. The service provider should advise accordingly on the frequency of the maintenance.
There are several different ways to avoid costly replacements on the entire system:
Air Conditioner Filters
The air filters are the most sensitive part of the AC unit. The filters are heavily responsible for ensuring normal airflow. Over time, the filters may get clogged up to the point where they can’t function effectively. Different filters come with different qualities; some can be cleaned and reused while others have to undergo a replacement. All filters should be serviced monthly.
The Coil Fins
This particular fin aids in the air flow and must be checked regularly. If the coil starts to bend, it will ultimately block the circulation of air. In such a case, one can purchase a fin comb sold by air conditioning companies.
Coolant Levels
Coolant levels are one of the most important parts that need a checkup. Ideally, they should be serviced annually to ensure that the system is not low on coolant whatsoever. If the technician finds that it is low, more has to be added.
Fan Motors
Regular oiling of fan motors ensures the free flow of air. The fan motors ensure that no air is trapped in the system and ensures that the air circulation is efficient. Having an annual service check could help to ensure that they don’t malfunction at any time.
Evaporator Coils
It is important to have the air filters cleaned because they affect the evaporator coils. Once these coils have collected dirt, the dirt insulates the coil which minimizes its absorption of heat. An annual tune-up helps in ensuring that they don’t accumulate dirt.
All in all, having an experienced service provider who understands the AC system helps in the maintenance. If you are looking for an expert in the Hermantown, MN area contact Northland Heating, Cooling & Plumbing today for an inspection.
