Expert Air Conditioning Maintenance in Longmont

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does air conditioner maintenance include?

  Some of the work during an AC tune-up includes a basic AC maintenance checklist:

  • Tightening electrical connections. This guarantees your system is running safely.
  • Lubricating parts. When your system isn’t lubricated, resistance from moving parts can cause it to break down more regularly.
  • Cleaning the condensate drain line. Cleaning this line takes care of mold and clogs, which can cause leaks.
  • Cleaning the condenser coil and evaporator coil. These coils become dirty over time, reducing airflow and its potential to absorb heat.
  • Straightening coil fins. Aluminum fins on the coils can bend and decrease airflow.
  • Examining system controls. This makes sure your system is starting, running and shutting down properly.

  Check this full guide to AC maintenance for various things you can do. One of the main things homeowners can do to help maintain their system, other than having annual yearly or seasonal maintenance done, is to change your AC unit’s air filter every 60-90 days, or 30 days if you have family pets. Changing your filter on a routine basis can extend the life span of your system by reducing wear and tear on the unit, preventing clogs and improving airflow. Using a higher quality HEPA filter can also help maintain the AC unit’s efficiency and reduce instances of sickness in your home.
