Air Conditioning Service Tips

Are regular check-ups worthwhile?
A: We recommend annual air conditioning check-ups in the spring. Although regular checkups will not absolutely guarantee that a unit will continue to work perfectly throughout the season, they will reveal most small problems that can lead to major, far more expensive problems if left unattended.

Q: Is there anything a homeowner can do to maintain the air conditioning unit?
A: Yes. The first thing to check before turning on your unit is to make sure the condensing unit located outside is not covered up. The unit needs to draw air into the system in order to have something to cool and blow out inside, but the process is hindered if it cannot pull enough air in from outside.
Many homeowners call because their air conditioner isn't cooling their house, only to find they forgot they had temporarily stacked lawn furniture, bags of leaves and lawn clippings, etc. around their outside unit over the winter. Some people intentionally cover their condenser to "protect" it from the elements during the winter, although these units are designed for outdoor installation and require no protection at all.

If you have a problem with your AC, try checking these items before you call for service:

• Is the thermostat switch set to proper positioning-cooling? Is the set-point below the room temperature?
• Is your furnace plugged in or is the power switch turned on? The air-conditioner needs the furnace to circulate the air.
• Is the air-conditioning disconnect or breaker turned on? If you know how to check the fuses, see if there are any blown. If you do not know how to check the fuses, call a technician.
• Is the furnace filter clean?
• Are the air registers open?
• Is there ice on the pipes at the evaporator coil (the indoor portion of the air-conditioner)? If there is, turn off the unit and call a technician. WARNING: DO NOT SET THE THERMOSTAT BELOW 68 DEGREES. THIS CAN CAUSE A MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS WITH YOUR AIR-CONDITIONER, INCLUDING FREEZING UP.
• Is the condensing unit running? (The condensing unit is the outside portion of the air-conditioner.)
  Is the condensor coil clean? If not, read the instructions that came with your air-conditioner on how to clean the coil, or call a technician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE CONDENSOR WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE POWER.
• Air-conditioners are designed for a 20 degree temperature differential. When it is 100 degrees outside, be happy if it is 80 degrees in your house. A temperature swing greater than this is unhealthy.

Here are some basic Air Conditioner maintenance tips:

• Run your air conditioner for a few minutes now, before you need it. If you wait until the first hot day to discover is isn't working, you may have to wait for service.
• Change the filters regularly. Dirty filters restrict air flow, reducing efficiency and worse case, can cause the evaporator to ice up. Disposable fiberglass filters should replaced. Electrostatic or electronic filters need to be washed regularly.
• Be sure all access panels are secure, with all the screws in place.
• Clean obvious obstructions such as newspaper, leaves, etc. from around the exterior of the unit.
• Be sure the thermostat is set in the cooling mode. Just setting the dial below room temperature will not activate the air conditioning if it is set in the heat mode.
• A thoroughly cleaned air conditioning unit will operate at top efficiency. However, homeowners are strongly discouraged from using a hose and water to try clean it themselves because of the very serious risk of electrical shock and possible shorting of electrical components.
• Like most anything you own, you will find that regular maintenance sooner is far less costly than repairs or even replacement later.
