Having standard air conditioning service completed at least yearly can help lengthen the life of your air conditioner and keep it functioning at peak efficiency. Before we get to the warmest days of the Norco and St. Charles Parish summertime, have the professionals at Mayeuxs AC & Heating perform your yearly air conditioning service.
Particular tasks should always be completed during a proper air conditioning service appointment. As stated by energy.gov, your technician should always:
- Inspect for the correct amount of refrigerant, and if needed, look for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector.
- If a refrigerant evacuation is needed, reclaim any refrigerant that must be cleared from the system, instead of unlawfully releasing it to the air.
- Check for correct airflow through the system.
- Confirm the correct electric control sequence to guarantee proper sequence of operation.
- Inspect electric terminals, clean and tighten connections.
- Inspect the precision of the thermostat.
When it comes to DIY air conditioning service, swapping out or cleaning your air filters frequently is essential. That’s because nothing else that simple can help make sure that your air conditioner continues to run at top efficiency. Besides when the air filter is cleaned or swapped out during your routine air conditioning service appointment, you should inspect it frequently. We recommend taking a look at it monthly or according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. How often it actually demands cleaning or replacement will depend on individual factors in your home, like how much dust gets into your home and whether or not you have pets.
