AC Maintenance: The Secret to Preventing Surprise Repairs
Did you know that regular air conditioning maintenance is how you can prevent surprise problems with your air conditioner, like a sudden breakdown? It’s true! Both homeowner and professional maintenance play a key role in how well your air conditioner operates over its lifespan.
In between annual AC maintenance appointments with our experts, you can always give us a call if you notice anything out of the ordinary and suspect that you need AC repair in Metairie. Keep reading to learn more about why maintenance for your air conditioner is so crucial for keeping it running without any major problems.
Annual Professional AC Maintenance
One step in maintaining your air conditioner is scheduling professional maintenance. This is the service that you should schedule every single year for your air conditioner, no matter how new or old the system is. If you recently installed a new air conditioner, plan on making your first maintenance appointment around one year after the installation date.
Then continue making this appointment each year until the time comes that you have to overhaul your existing unit with a new system. During professional maintenance, our team checks your air conditioner top to bottom, inside and out. We first give your air conditioner a cursory look to identify any glaring issues.
If we find any, we address those first. If we don’t, we move methodically through your system to check all of the components and ensure they are in proper working order. We may tighten things down or make adjustments to help your air conditioner maintain high energy efficiency year-round.
Monthly Homeowner Maintenance
But in between these appointments, it’s up to you to make sure that your air conditioner receives the care it needs. You have to change your air filters on time and make sure that the air filters you purchase are appropriate for your unit.
Be sure to rinse out the condensate drain line with some vinegar each month, too. Otherwise, mold can grow inside the small pipe and form a clog that causes water to back up into your home. Aside from water damage, this can also increase humidity levels and make your home feel warmer than it really is.
