Advantages of AC Maintenance

While having a routine AC tune-up is an effective way to keep operating costs low, it also serves a few other advantages. Firstly, the most important and simplest part of maintaining your air conditioning system is changing the filter on a routine basis. Clean filters pull dust and allergens out of your indoor environment, protecting you from the discomfort of allergies and sinus issues that come along with poor indoor air quality. Clean filters not only protect your health, but they also keep all that dirt from building up inside your AC blower and ductwork too.

By allowing an AC contractor to test your system, you will know what to expect from the long-term performance of the parts of your air conditioner. An AC contractor will perform checks on the compressors, coils, and motors that make up your air conditioner. Performing these checks can give you the peace of mind that all the components are running well and are not likely to fail in the coming warm season.

When Do You Need AC Repairs?

If you haven’t been performing diligent routine maintenance you may be in need of central AC repair. While it’s critical that air conditioner repairs are done by the experts, it’s also important to be an informed homeowner, catching these problems before it’s too late. Common signs that you need air conditioning repair can include:

• Long Cooling Cycles: If you notice your system is running longer than usual you may need to have your refrigerant levels checked.
• High Utility Bills: Higher than normal bills indicate your unit isn’t running efficiently. Having a technician check your system can restore efficiency and save you money.
• Grinding Or Squealing: Noises indicate that bearings or belts can be going bad or need lubrication.
• Not Blowing Air: No airflow could indicate a problem with the blower.
• Not Cooling: Improper cooling could be a sign that your compressor is failing.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, call the pros at Paul The Plumber before it’s too late! We always start by performing a thorough inspection to help diagnose and locate the problem. This ensures a long-term fix that you can depend on. We also offer honest advice, so have peace of mind that our service will work best for your home.

When to Replace Your Air Conditioner?

At a certain point, it will be time to consider air conditioner replacement. If your unit is around 15 years old, struggling to cool your home, producing uneven temperatures, or costing you thousands in energy bills, it may be time for a change. Eventually, it will cost more to repair and operate an older unit than it would to decide on a new air conditioner installation.

Choosing Paul The Plumber as your Auburn AC contractor means you’re working with the best. We specialize in new unit installation and we’ll be happy to perform the maintenance on it in the coming years to protect your investment and warranties.
