Decisions decisions
Our lives are full of choices. Some are difficult, and some not so much. Some take careful planning, and some are made on the fly. Whatever the circumstances, they must be made. One of the smarter choices you can make this summer, regarding your home, is having your air conditioner serviced. Cumming, GA residents are no strangers to the hot and humid summers that require an air conditioner in order to maintain a reasonable level of comfort. Before you take a relaxing day off at Haw Creek or Buford Dam Park, let’s look at some of the ways that AC maintenance can improve the longevity and efficiency of your cooling system.
Allows breathing room
Having your air conditioner serviced should include a thorough cleaning or replacement of the filters. In addition to this, there will be a cleaning of the other components that may have their airflow obstructed. Much like your lungs, an air conditioner free of any airflow obstructions will function at its best. Not only will this improve the efficiency by allowing more airflow, it will put less strain on the entire system.
In addition to the cleaning, an HVAC serviceman will check for any unusual smells that may indicate a problem with your air conditioner system. This should be repaired as needed.
Components checked
Some of the components that a trained HVAC serviceman should include: evaporator and condenser coils, compressor, fan and fan motor, wiring, ductwork, hosing and piping. By inspecting the numerous parts of your air conditioner system, the serviceman will be able to locate any potential problems before they escalate into major repairs. After adding up the cost of the small inspections and repairs, it still pales in comparison to a full-blown AC replacement. No one wants to spend their day at the wholesale air conditioner or home improvement store.
