Air Conditioning Repair
Regular Maintenance is Critical for a Comfortable Home
Regular maintenance is critical for the longevity of your air conditioning system. If you don’t service your system regularly, it could be performing more like a 9 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) unit instead of a 12 or 15 SEER unit.
Without regular maintenance an air conditioner looses about 5% of it's original efficiency for each year of operation. This means that the 12 SEER unit that you bought just a few years ago may be functioning like a 9 SEER unit today! The good news is that you can recover most of that lost efficiency through regular maintenance.
Annual Air Conditioning Maintenance Means Lower Energy Bills!
Studies show that with regular tune-ups a unit will maintain up to 95% of it's original efficiency. The annual cost of proper maintenance is quickly recuperated in savings to your monthly electric utility bill and typically reduced repair costs, if any are necessary.
Air Conditioners Last Longer with Quality Air Filters
In addition to bi-annual maintenance, Air America Air Conditioning recommends buying good air conditioner filters and making sure to change them on a regular basis. On an average, once per month, the filter should be replaced or when it appears covered with dust, debris and other particles.
Keep Shrubs and Any Obstacles At Least 18" Away
from Your A/C Compressor
Next, keep bushes and other materials away from the outside unit of your air conditioner. Another good idea is to avoid closing supply air outlets in your house. In almost all cases, closing supply outlets is harmful to the operation of the overall system.
