How to Prevent AC Failure Throughout the Summer
In Springfield, VA, our AC systems work hard most of the year, but especially during the hotter summer months as our temperatures get higher and higher. As the temperatures rise, so does the humidity due to the sometimes-daily summer thunderstorms. This combination can be tough to handle for us, not to mention our air conditioning systems. Ever Cool Heating & Cooling, Inc. is here to ensure your HVAC system in its entirety performs reliably so you can be comfortable while in your home this summer. We are a trusted air conditioning repair company that services residents all throughout Springfield, VA. Here are a few tips to assist you in preventing AC failure this summer:
Schedule an annual tune-up or maintenance appointment as needed.
First and foremost, we recommend annual tune-ups; not only do tune-ups help keep your air conditioning unit efficient, but they help prevent major repairs (which saves you money) and also extend the life of your unit. Similar to the engine on a car, your HVAC system in its entirety will need to be inspected, adjusted, and cleaned as it experiences wear and tear with time. Regular tune-ups/maintenance will also help to improve the air quality in your home. Ever Cool Heating & Cooling, Inc. has a number of products we can introduce to your system to further improve the
air quality of your home, including high out-put UVC lamps, polarized media electric air cleaners, drain pan treatments, and more.
What to Expect During HVAC Maintenance
Here are some things our technicians will check/perform:
- Settings on the thermostat
- Carbon Dioxide Test (if applicable)
- Test the start capabilities of the equipment.
- Clean the condensate drain.
- Measure airflow, amps, volts
- Test safety controls
- Measure temperature differences in supply and return air
- Replace any air filters as needed.
- Look for signs of corrosion or damage.
- Lubricate components.
- Inspect the area around the equipment
Additional Tips:
A few things that you can keep an eye on, on your own include but are not limited to changing
the air filters, cleaning the return air ducts, checking the pipe insulation of your air conditioner, paying attention to the ductwork, getting a wiring inspection done, upgrade to a smart thermostat. You may be unable to perform or check some of the items listed above, and that’s ok! That’s where our skilled technicians come into the picture.
