Spring is Here; Time to Check Your A/C

As temperatures begin to warm and winter slips away, it’s time to start thinking about cooling season. Spring is the perfect time to schedule an A/C checkup, as delaying or skipping preventive maintenance can have dire consequences for both your equipment and your energy bills.

Why spring?

While you can schedule A/C maintenance at any point throughout cooling season, springtime is the most beneficial for several reasons:

Your HVAC contractor will be more likely to work around your schedule at this time of year, as opposed to mid-summer when you may have to work around their busy schedule that’s full of emergency repairs.

Having your cooling equipment tuned up before the season begins means it will be ready to go when you need it, and in prime working order.

Benefits of a Professional A/C Checkup

Dirt and wear are your A/C’s two worst enemies, and your HVAC contractor will address both issues during his appointment.

Your contractor has the right tools and equipment to access all components of your system, and a trained eye to detect problems or potential issues, preventing bigger problems down the road.

A clean, well-maintained A/C system runs more efficiently and effectively, reducing energy costs and increasing your level of comfort.

What to Expect
A standard checklist for an A/C checkup may include the following:
  • Change the air filter, if needed
  • Inspection of all fuses and wiring
  • Testing of the system and all controls for proper operation
  • Tightening of any electrical connections
  • Inspection and cleaning of all coils
  • Checking the amperage and voltage of all motors
  • Inspection of the bearings and lubrication where needed of any moving parts
  • Testing of thermostat operation
  • Inspect the condensate drain, treating the line with an algaecide solution, if needed
  • Check the refrigerant level, making any necessary adjustments
  • Adjust and clean blower components
  • Inspect visible ductwork for leaks
  • Look for signs of mold on the coils or in the drain pan
