Checklist for your A/C ready for summer

SPRING IS HERE! IS YOUR AIR CONDITIONER READY?

Keeping your Air Conditioner (AC) or Heat Pump maintained will not only save you money on energy, but you’ll also extend its lifespan, saving money on costly early replacement. Kyle McKay, HVAC pro from All Elements, says, “An AC needs regular attention to be sure it’s operating at the highest efficiency.” The best time for a routine maintenance is  just before each cooling season begins.

So what exactly does a maintenance include?

  • Evaporator and condenser air coil Cleaning: Dusty, dirty coils reduce a system’s ability to cool your home. They cause the system to run longer, raising energy costs while shortening the life of the equipment.
  • Check and adjust the refrigerant level of your central air conditioner: Too much or too little refrigerant is another sign that the system is not running efficiently, is using too much energy, or is being used in a way that will shorten its lifespan.
  • Clean and adjust blower component. This provides proper airflow for greater comfort. Airflow problems can make the system to run up to 15% less efficiently.
  • Thermostat settings ensure cooling and heating operations keep you comfortable when you’re home and cut energy use when you’re not.
  • Electrical connections should be tightened. Voltages and currents on motors should be measured. Poorly maintained electrical connections cause unsafe operation of your system while reducing the life of all components.
  • Lubricate moving parts. Friction causes additional resistance in motors and increases the amount of electricity used.
  • Inspect the condensate drain in central AC units, furnaces and heat pumps (for cooling modes). Plugged drains cause overflows and water damage, affecting indoor humidity levels.
  • Controls ensure safe and proper operation. Check that the system cycles (starts, operates, and shuts off), properly.

All Elements performs Air Conditioning and Heat Pump maintenance for $149. Contact us at 250.254.4822 to book an appointment with our HVAC Specialist today.
