Any electrical appliance to function efficiently and effectively requires regular maintenance. Neglecting often leads to a decline in its performance. After all, you don’t want to be left to bear it through triple-digit temperatures. A simple, annual AC tune-up could help you reduce the risk of a summer breakdown and keep your energy bills in check. Patriot Home Solutions is here to guide you.
What is a Tune-Up?
During a tune-up, a HVAC professional will inspect your system, both the indoor unit and outdoor units such as the evaporator, condenser, motor, and belts to check for any loose electrical connections, dirt, and dust that may have accumulated over some time and refrigerant leaks, the drainage pipelines or broken safety features.
The air filter needs to be changed regularly to prevent dust from entering your system. They will confirm the refrigerant levels- both for overcharging and undercharging conditions of the air conditioner and that the thermostat is functioning well.
Benefits of Tune-Up
Prevent Breakdowns
A checkup before the summer is usually a good idea to reduce stress on the cooling system. It will help catch problems such as a fault with the motor, refrigerant leaks, any damage to the evaporator or condenser. It will lessen the chances of affecting the unit, leading to replacing the system altogether.
Reduce Your Energy Bills
If your system is under strain, it leads to greater electricity consumption, which increases your energy bills. Investing in regular tune-ups can help you save yourself from running into emergency repairs.
