Many homeowners install an AC to keep their living spaces comfortable. While most systems are durable, they need to be cared for regularly to ensure they can function properly for years. If your unit hasn’t been serviced yet, here’s more information about why these appointments are important.

The Benefits of Annual AC Servicing

An air conditioner that’s properly maintained will operate more efficiently. It’ll effectively cycle air throughout the home and remove particles that diminish air quality. A well-serviced unit also keeps your house cool without overworking and overheating its parts, helping them maximize their life spans. As a result, you’ll experience fewer malfunctions and complete breakdowns, saving you money on repair costs.

What to Expect During the Appointment

The AC technician will likely begin by turning on the thermostat to determine how well the system cools the home. They’ll also listen for any strange sounds that occur during operation—buzzing and banging indicate loose or damaged parts. The technician will check the air filter and replace it if it’s dirty, as a clogged screen will make it difficult for the system to push air through it.

Next, they’ll head outside to inspect the condenser. They’ll adjust the coils, straighten the fins, clean the condensation drain, and lubricate any moving parts. When the technician is finished, they’ll do the same to the indoor evaporator.
