Preventive A/C maintenance is essential because it’s a proactive way of extending your air conditioning system’s lifespan and performance. Our professional technicians at North Bay Heating & Air can help you detect any problems before it becomes seriously out of hand. This prevents any malfunctions or damage that will help improves the efficiency of your A/C unit while saving you money in the long run.

Preventive A/C Maintenance Can Help Extend the Life Expectancy of Your Unit

Having your air conditioning system well maintained and regularly serviced can ensure a comfortable home, especially during the warm summer months. Our expert technicians will closely check and monitor your system’s performance and overall condition with routine tune-ups to ensure that your A/C is working optimally.

Some tune-up work includes the following:

Tightening of electrical connections. This helps ensure that all parts are working and are damage-free, so your A/C unit runs safely and adequately.
Lubricating system parts. This is a critical part of maintenance, ensuring that the moving parts are all working smoothly and not restricted by friction.
Cleaning up the condensate drain line. Ensuring that the drain lines are free from any debris or mold formation can help prevent leaks.
Cleaning up the evaporator and condenser coils. The evaporator and condenser coils should be routinely cleaned to avoid restriction in airflow and overheating.
Straightening of coil fins. Aluminum fins on the coils can bend and reduce airflow.
Check on the system controls—routine checkups to examine that all systems are running smoothly and optimally functioning.
Change air filters. It’s important to replace air filters every after a couple of months or as needed so that your air conditioning system works correctly and for health reasons, especially if you have allergies in your household. Pet dander and dirt can dangerously clog your air filter and cause it to be sluggish in performance which hinders efficient cooling.

What Could Go Wrong Without A/C Maintenance?

We cannot stress enough the importance of having an A/C maintenance plan to improve your air conditioning system’s performance, reliability, and lifespan. The majority of emergency service calls happen because of lack of maintenance, and here are some of the disadvantages of neglecting this part:

Defective Thermostat – When your thermostat isn’t running correctly, it will affect your air conditioner’s cooling mechanism and power, and your comfort.
Dirty Evaporator and Condenser Coils – Evaporator coils work like a radiator that can be found on your indoor unit. When the condenser or evaporator coils are dirty, this can restrict airflow and produce poor air quality. This can increase the energy bill and negatively impact your air conditioner’s lifespan.
Stubborn Leaks – Different factors may cause leaks in your air conditioning system. This may be caused by a broken or damaged condenser pump, clogged drain hole, or blocked hose.

Without routine preventive maintenance, you will always run into a bunch of frustration when you find your air conditioning to be blowing warm rather than cold air or, worse, not working at all.
