When the temperature outside keeps soaring, it’s nice to be able to stay cool indoors. However, if the air conditioner isn’t working efficiently the cost to operate it will skyrocket, along with the temperature. AC contractors in Kyle TX can remedy that. A certified AC technician can do a complete inspection of the unit and make any necessary repairs. If the customer is looking for more ways to save money, the technician can install an energy efficient programmable thermostat or make recommendations for a new high efficiency AC system.
Preventative Maintenance
In order to maximize the effectiveness of an AC system, it should be serviced at least once a year. This will ensure that the system is functioning at its maximum potential when cold air is needed on a daily basis. Of course, there are several things that a homeowner can do, such as changing the air filter out on a regular schedule, visually inspecting the system and listening for any unusual noises that may indicate that something is wrong. A homeowner can also clean the condenser coils if they are dirty, as this will allow the AC to cool better.
Inspection
AC contractors in Kyle TX can do a yearly inspection, make any necessary repairs or replace a worn out system. When performing an inspection, the technician will check all electrical connections, do a thorough cleaning of the condenser coils, check the coolant level and look for leaks, lubricate any moving parts, calibrate the thermostat to ensure accuracy and inspect the duct work. The technician will also make sure that the intake and return air flow is correct, along with testing the capacitor, fan blade and the compressor. If anything is noted during the inspection, the technician will make recommendations for rectifying what’s wrong.
When an AC system is checked frequently, it can prolong its lifespan. Taking care of problems as soon as they are noted can keep them from escalating into larger ones. Preventative maintenance can maximize efficiency of an AC unit and ensure that it’s operating to its potential. When an AC system no longer performs as it should, it may be time for a replacement with a new more energy efficient unit.
