Why is it vital to service your air conditioner regularly?

Electronic equipment must be serviced regularly to maintain its efficiency. Your air conditioning unit is no exception. It will start losing about 5% of its efficiency every year if you do not service it regularly. On the other hand, if you maintain it well on a regular basis, the unit will retain its efficiency for a longer period. This will also mean that your unit will consume less electricity, which will ultimately result in lower electricity bills.

Servicing of an air conditioning unit includes checking of the compressor, cleaning of the blowers and fan coils, oiling the fan motors and checking the system operating temperatures and pressures. Your contractor must not use a brush or vacuum to clean the blowers and fan coils because using a brush will release dirt in the air, which can cause breathing problems. The evaporator coil must be checked and cleaned on a regular basis.

Home or office owners who continue to use very old air conditioners can save precious energy and money by opting for a new air conditioning unit. Remember, an air conditioner must have the requisite minimum seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). You must look for an Energy Star sticker that gives the energy efficiency rating.
