What Maintenance Should Be Done on AC Unit?

Regular maintenance is essential for the efficient and long-lasting performance of your AC unit. Here are some key maintenance tasks:

• Replace Air Filters: Regularly replacing or cleaning air filters every 1-3 months ensures proper airflow and system efficiency.
• Clean Evaporator and Condenser Coils: Annually cleaning these coils removes dirt and debris that can obstruct heat transfer, improving system performance.
• Check and Clean Condensate Drain: Regularly inspect and clean the condensate drain to prevent clogs and potential water damage.
• Inspect and Tighten Electrical Connections: Ensure all electrical connections are secure to prevent safety hazards and maintain system efficiency.
• Check Refrigerant Levels: Monitoring refrigerant levels and addressing any leaks is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and preventing damage.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Lubricating moving parts such as fan motors and belts reduces friction and extends the lifespan of components.
• Calibrate Thermostat: Periodically calibrating the thermostat ensures accurate temperature control and efficient operation.
• Inspect Ductwork: Inspect ducts for leaks and proper insulation to maximize system efficiency and airflow.
• Test System Controls: Regularly test system controls to ensure they are functioning correctly, including safety controls and shutdown sequences.
• Schedule Professional Maintenance: Arrange for annual professional maintenance to thoroughly inspect and tune the system for optimal performance and longevity.

5 benefits of professional AC tune-ups:

1. Fewer repair visits - Regular maintenance from our experts in Plano will ensure your unit won't break down as often. While we'll service your unit 24-hours a day, sometimes it's best to catch these problems before they happen.

2. Increased indoor air quality – When your AC system is dirty, it can be blowing dirt, debris, and harmful contaminants throughout your home. Luckily, our team will clean or replace dirty filters and remove any buildup found in the unit to keep your indoor air clean and fresh.

3. Your AC unit will last longer - Exactly how long your AC lasts will depend on the environment, use, and maintenance. However, a properly maintained unit has been shown to last longer, normally lasting between 12-15 years—saving you money on replacements.

4. Increased energy efficiency - As air conditioning units age, they get less efficient, which means you end up paying more for less cooling. With regularly scheduled maintenance, you can combat this aging process, making for a more efficient system.
