How often does my air conditioner need maintenance?

Regular HVAC maintenance is crucial for your air conditioner's filters, coils, and fins to ensure the unit operates efficiently throughout its lifespan. Neglecting necessary maintenance can lead to a decline in air conditioning performance while energy use increases steadily. We recommend that your unit undergoes maintenance every 6 months to keep it in top condition.

What are signs of wear and tear on an air conditioner?

If you notice that your air conditioner is beginning to show signs of wear, it doesn’t always mean a replacement is necessary. However, some issues can be more serious than others. One of the first indicators will be an increase in electricity costs to operate your air conditioning system. You may also observe that the cooling unit frequently turns on and off, leading to uneven cooling in your home. For newer models less than 5 years old, most issues should be resolved through regular air conditioning services and maintenance. Ensure your coils are cleaned, and the cooling units are checked at least once a year. If your unit is more than 10 years old, consider installation services for a replacement unit, as newer models are typically more energy-efficient and can alleviate existing problems.

Why does my AC keep icing up?

An air conditioning system that keeps icing up may be experiencing several issues. The first thing to check is your air filter; a dirty filter will restrict airflow across the evaporator coil, causing ice to form. This ice buildup puts significant stress on the blower motor, compressor, and other components within the unit. If this condition isn’t addressed immediately, it can lead to motor failure, compressor failure, and potential refrigerant leaks, which could damage your home or air conditioning equipment. If the air filter is clean, contact us right away to avoid costly repairs.

I have a manufacturer’s warranty, so do I really need a maintenance contract too?

Having a maintenance contract is vital, even if you have a manufacturer’s warranty. These contracts will fulfill the obligations required by major air conditioning manufacturers to keep the warranty valid. Remember, manufacturer warranties only apply if the equipment is maintained according to their specifications and recommendations, much like how vehicle manufacturers require regular service throughout the warranty period.

Why does my system seem to need more refrigerant each year?

If your air conditioning system consistently requires refrigerant recharging, it indicates a leak that needs repair. A leaking system will not only reduce cooling capacity and increase energy usage but can also harm the environment, as refrigerant gases contribute to ozone layer depletion. Be sure to select a service provider who utilizes the latest technology for detecting refrigerant leaks, as outdated methods can be time-consuming and costly.

What size system should I have installed?

Choosing the right size HVAC system for your home is essential. If it’s too large, your system will short cycle and fail to control humidity properly. Conversely, if it’s too small, it will run continuously, leading to inefficiency. We always perform a computerized load calculation for precise sizing.
