Also known as an AC tune-up, preventative maintenance involves thoroughly checking your air conditioner to make sure it is running properly. Our goal is to repair small problems before they become big ones.
When we come to your home to do a tune-up, we will check the refrigerant level, clean the outdoor coils, clean out the indoor drain lines, and assess the condition of the other internal parts that make your air conditioner run effectively.
For example, if you have an air conditioner that is low on coolant, if you catch it in the spring before you use the AC, we can fix the problem before any damage occurs. An AC that is low on gas will “freeze up,” and you will notice ice build-up around the AC lines. The indoor evaporator coil (that sits above your furnace) will turn into a block of ice. The compressor will be unable to cool itself because of the air restriction and will overheat. On an older or weak compressor, this could cause a complete failure of the part. The compressor is the heart of the AC system and, while it can be replaced, it would be a better idea to replace the entire unit.
You would also have an issue with the indoor coil as it starts to melt and drips all that water into the furnace. This could cause several parts to fail in the furnace as well.
We want to fix these types of problems before a big failure happens. While our business relies on AC repairs and installations, we still want to help you get the longest life possible out of your AC unit.
If your air conditioner is 15 years old or older, we definitely recommend having a tune-up done every year. ACs typically last 15-20 years. Tune-ups are especially important for older air conditioners because their internal parts are older and have a higher chance of failure.
We know AC service calls can be expensive. At Hurlburt, we try to keep our tune-up costs low so our services are accessible to everyone in our community.
There are a lot of things we check on an AC tune-up that you can’t do yourself, but here are some ways you can do your preventative maintenance and keep your AC running cool.
We get this question a lot, and the answer might surprise you!
No, you should not cover your AC during the winter. A covered AC can look like a warm, inviting home for mice and other rodents who might decide to set up their winter home. This can be a big problem in the spring if they decide to chew through any wires.
