Having reliable air conditioning year-round is crucial for residents of Sonora and the surrounding areas. To ensure that your air conditioning system is running efficiently, find small problems before they escalate, and extend the life of your unit, have a reliable HVAC company like Comphel Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. inspect your system regularly.
Here are five common maintenance services included in an air conditioning checkup.
1. Inspect Refrigerant Levels
Optimal refrigerant levels ensure efficient cooling, proper unit operation, and protection against compressor damage. If your AC refrigerant is low, our licensed technicians can check for leaks, repair them, and top up the coolant.
2. Clean or Replace Air Filters and Clean Evaporator Coils
Dirty air filters can cause damage to the compressor or restrict airflow, so it’s vital to clean or replace them on a regular basis. This is one maintenance task you can do yourself.
To clean the coils, we’ll brush off debris, clean them with a special solution, and then carefully rinse them off.
3. Clean the Condensate Drain Line and Pan
If your drain line clogs up, this can cause the most problems for your air conditioning system. We’ll make sure your line is free of substances that can block or slow drainage. Our trained technicians have the right tools for the job – not only for cleaning the line and pan but also to prevent the growth of sludge during the months of high AC use.
4. Clean the Condenser Coils
Our certified HVAC technicians know how to get to the condenser coils in your AC unit, so they can clean them from the inside out. When the condenser coils are clean, your AC will cool more effectively, and your monthly electricity costs will be lower.
5. Tighten Up Electrical Connections
Normal everyday use of your air conditioning system can make nuts and wires come lose and cause arcing or breaker tripping. During an annual checkup, we can tighten the wire and lug nuts, as well as the inside and outside connections, to prevent these mishaps.
Our air conditioning technicians are highly qualified to provide the best maintenance and upkeep services. Comphel Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. also offers top-rated services for furnaces, air purifiers, and ductless systems.
