When should I have my air conditioning system serviced?
July 3rd, 2023
Regular maintenance of your air conditioning system is essential to keep it running smoothly, extend its life and maintain fresh, healthy air in your environment. In this article, we’ll give you a comprehensive guide to the ideal time to service your air conditioning system, to maximize its efficiency and avoid costly problems.
Seasonal maintenance
We recommend servicing your air conditioning system at least once a year, preferably before the start of the summer season. This will ensure that your system is working optimally when you need it most. During seasonal maintenance, a qualified professional will perform a thorough inspection of your system, clean filters, check electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, and ensure that all components are working properly.
Regular filter maintenance
The filters in your air-conditioning system need regular maintenance to ensure good airflow and ideal air quality. In general, filters should be cleaned or replaced every three months, depending on use and environment. Dirty filters can lead to reduced system efficiency, increased energy consumption and even health problems related to indoor air quality. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and check your filters regularly. If you’re not sure, you can contact Frigotech for further advice.
Preventive troubleshooting
Regular maintenance of your air-conditioning system will help to detect and resolve potential problems quickly. During service visits, the technician will check your system’s performance, inspect components, detect refrigerant leaks, measure pressure levels and more. By identifying problems early on, you can avoid costly breakdowns and major repairs. Preventive maintenance is therefore essential to keeping your air conditioning system in good working order and saving you money in the long term.
In addition to seasonal and filter maintenance, there are a few specific considerations to consider. If your air conditioning system is used frequently or in dusty environments, it may require more frequent maintenance. In addition, if you notice unusual noises, unpleasant odors, poor air circulation or increased energy consumption, it’s advisable to have your system checked by a professional immediately.
Regular maintenance of your air conditioning system is crucial to ensure its performance, durability, and indoor air quality. Schedule seasonal maintenance, take care of filters on a regular basis, watch for signs of problems, and call in the professionals at Frigotech for repairs or adjustments if necessary. By following these tips, you’ll enjoy an efficient and functional air conditioning system all year round.
