What To Expect During AC Maintenance Visits
We recommend having your air conditioner serviced by a professional at least once a year. During a tune-up you can expect our technicians to perform the following tasks:
- Check the refrigerant levels.
- Look for any leaks.
- Inspect your air ducts for excessive debris and potential leaks.
- Make sure that the proper amount of air is flowing through your evaporator coil. Examine the coil to determine if there are any other issues.
- Verify the correct electric control sequence and ensure that cooling and heating sequences are not operating at the same time.
- Inspect electric terminals. If needed, they will apply a non-conductive coating.
- Apply oil to the motors.
- Examine the belts, and inspect all other working components.
- Check your thermostat to ensure it is controlling your indoor climate properly.
Common Heater Issues
While it’s usually never convenient to have your heater malfunction, occasionally your unit might experience issues that require repairs. Some common problems your unit might encounter include:
- Uneven heating: This could indicate that your system is failing.
- Shuts down: If your unit shuts on and off frequently, it could be due to faulty wiring, a failing pilot light for gas-powered systems, or even a malfunctioning thermostat.
- Takes too long to heat: If your unit takes a long time to heat up your home, it could be due to leaky air ducts, a damaged fan motor, or a problem with the belts and bearings.
