Hello, my name is Darby Aldrich. I would like to talk to you about the importance of maintaining your air conditioning system. When I moved to a hot climate, I did not realize how vital having a running air conditioner was for living comfortably. When the unit just stopped working one day, the temperature inside the house rivaled the piping hot weather outdoors. We had to go to the community center to keep the kids from feeling sick. While we were gone, we had a local HVAC contractor fix the unit. She let us know that some simple maintenance tasks would prevent that situation in the future. I will use this site to closely explore those tasks in great detail. I hope you can use the information to keep your air conditioner running like new. Thanks.
Are you a homeowner whose air conditioner is not performing as it should? There are numerous reasons why this can occur. One of the most common reasons why individuals experience this phenomenon is because they fail to get routine maintenance performed on their systems. However, issues such as the age of the system and other factors can also impact system performance. These complex possibilities can lead to some property owners not knowing whether the best solution is to hire an AC service repair or install a new unit. The following points will help you to understand some common residential AC services that are needed by property owners.
Circuit Board Issue
It is possible that this issue can be resolved through an AC service repair. However, your system may have obsolete parts. A contractor may be able to source used parts on your behalf, but from a financial point of view, the contractor may advise you that this is not a good idea. Used parts may not come with a warranty, which means you may have to replace the circuit board again in the near future, leading to additional service costs. Another factor to consider is that a new system will likely have a manufacturer's warranty assigned to it, which can give you peace of mind.
Fan Motor Issue
This issue could be as simple as replacing missing screws to the fan. However, the fan may need to be replaced if it is damaged. Sometimes debris such as rocks or sticks can cause this type of damage. This is why it is recommended to get your system routinely inspected as recommended. It is also wise not to operate the system until a contractor advises you that it is safe to do so. Operating a system with damaged parts can cause other system problems. It can also mean that there are irreversible damages.
An HVAC contractor is a good resource to use to determine the exact reason your AC system is not performing correctly. They can also explain the pros and cons of keeping your existing system or upgrading to a new one. You may decide to get a new system due to reasoning such as energy efficiency. These professionals can recommend units, ensure that the correct-sized unit is installed, and perform the installation. They may be able to make a temporary repair to ensure your family's comfort in lieu of the new system's arrival.
