Introduction

• How frequently you should service your AC unit
  depends on whether you have installed a new one
  or using one of those outdated versions. 
• Both require regular maintenance in order to
  perform to their peak levels for a long time.

Why Does My AC Unit Require Service?

• As discussed in previous slide, it is essential
  to change and clean filters, in addition to
  taking care of the coils and fins of your unit to
  help it perform efficiently and ensure that it
  consumes less energy.
• Different parts of the air conditioner require
  different types of maintenance.

• Filters This is the part, which would require
  frequent attention. You can either hire home AC
  service professionals in Parker or do it yourself
  AC repair if you know how to handle the task
  confidently.
•  Every two weeks, the filter has to be cleaned to
  remove the clogs. Otherwise, this would reduce
  the inflow of cool air and outflow of the indoor
  hot air.

• Coils There are two coils the evaporator coil
  and the condenser coil both of which are
  capable of accumulating dirt over the months.
• So, these parts require servicing or cleaning
  once a year in order to prevent soiling and
  compressor heating. Neglecting this would cause
  insulation in the coils, which would bring down
  the performance of your air conditioner.

• Coil Fins There are aluminium fins located over
  the coils that are highly fragile and tend to
  bend and block the airflow, which again brings
  down the performance of your air conditioner.
•  When you opt for an annual AC maintenance plan,
  the AC repair service experts will provide a fin
  comb, which is a tool that will hold back the
  fins in their original shape and out of the way.

• Compressor Overheating There are various
  indications when a compressor overheats and stops
  working one fine day.
• A hissing noise, no cooling effect, power
  tripping, the AC getting switched off after a
  while youve turned it on all these are some of
  the symptoms that your compressor unit or a
  mechanical part in it has malfunctioned. This
  certainly calls for professional help.

• While it is the best choice to opt for an annual
  maintenance contract offered by a reliable home
  AC service company, you should
• Make sure they are insured and licensed
• AC service cost is nominal, ideally between 80
  and 100 per hour
• Make sure the pros inspect every element
  including the motor and worn out parts, apart
  from checking refrigerants, duct leakage and the
  electrical system.
