Having regular air conditioning service performed at least once a year can help prolong the life of your air conditioner and keep it running at top efficiency. Before we get to the muggiest days of the Crystal and Twin Cities season, have the professionals at GV Heating & Air complete your routine air conditioning service.
Particular tasks should always be completed during a proper air conditioning service appointment. As stated by energy.gov, your expert should always:
- Inspect for the correct amount of refrigerant, and if required, test for refrigerant leaks utilizing a leak detector.
- If a refrigerant evacuation is required, reclaim any refrigerant that must be cleared from the system, rather than illegally freeing it to the atmosphere.
- Look for proper airflow in the system.
- Check the right electric control sequence to ensure adequate sequence of operation.
- Review electric terminals, clean and stiffen connections.
- Check the accuracy of the thermostat.
When it comes to DIY air conditioning service, changing or cleaning your air filters frequently is a top priority. That’s because nothing else that straightforward can help make sure that your air conditioner continues to run at top efficiency. In addition to when the air filter is cleaned or changed during your yearly air conditioning service appointment, you should inspect it habitually. We advise taking a look at it every month or according to the manufacturer’s suggestion. How often it actually requires cleaning or replacement will bank on individual factors in your home, like how much dust comes into your home and whether or not you have pets.
