Annual A/C Service Helps You Avoid Problems From Neglect

 

Which homeowner are you? One who ensures that his air conditioner receives annual A/C service or one who has neglected his system? If you fall into the second group, now is the time to make a fresh start. Preventive maintenance can do nothing but help your system function the way it’s supposed to.You see, a system that is maintained regularly will perform well and consistently, partly because it’s clean. But a system that’s neglected can and will suffer from a host of problems, including:

• Poor efficiency – An air conditioner is composed of delicate components that can operate efficiently only if they are clean and free of dirt buildup. For instance, when the system’s two sets of coils are dirty, the air conditioner’s ability to transfer heat decreases, causing it to consume more energy and potentially raising energy costs as much as 35 percent. Further, its capacity to cool declines by as much as 30 percent. It’s easy to see why clean coils — and a clean air conditioner — are paramount.
• Reduced comfort – When components such as the coils, the air handler and the compressor remain dirty from neglect, you’ll notice a difference in comfort. Reduced capacity definitely affects how much cooling your home receives and generally results in hot zones in your home.
• More repairs – As dirt is allowed to build up on the air conditioner’s components, wear and tear increase, and it will most likely require repairs.
• Decreased life span – As the cycle of dirt buildup and wear and tear continues, your system’s life span will decrease. In fact, most experts estimate that an A/C can last as much as five years longer when it’s regularly serviced. That fact alone may motivate you to schedule annual A/C service.

The benefits of annual A/C service are clear. And by having it done, you can position yourself to benefit from the low cost but high value that tune-ups afford.
