Advice On Air Conditioning Preventive Maintenance

There is little worse than enjoying a scorching day out of the heat at home and suddenly your air conditioner doesn’t seem to work properly anymore. The best way to avoid costly visits from the air and heating guy is to perform annual preventive maintenance.

There are lots of things the average homeowner can do to keep the air conditioning units functioning well. Filter prices may increase from year to year, so buying extra filters will save money long term. Look for sales during off season or just before the warm weather starts.

Check your freon levels or call a specialist to check for you before the warm season starts. Another simple thing is to replace the thermostat battery annually.

Use of multiple electrical devices and appliances during summer heat can cause your breakers to trip, so use power hungry electronics conservatively. Make sure not to keep refrigerator and freezer doors open too long.

Rolling blackouts can mysteriously cause circuit board burnout. If you are a new resident, ask the previous owner how old the system is and if there are any functional concerns. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or challenge the technicians diagnosis, and don’t be afraid to get a couple of estimates before choosing one company to work with.

Some replaceable parts may have up to a five year warranty, so be certain to have the technician explain and write down all warranty information on your receipt.

Be smart by taking care of your system, and it will take care of you.
