Air conditioning servicing involves regular maintenance and upkeep of air conditioning systems to keep them running efficiently and effectively. This typically involves several steps, including:
Cleaning: One of the most important aspects of air conditioning servicing is cleaning. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the coils and filters, reducing the efficiency of the system and potentially leading to breakdowns. During servicing, the technician will clean the coils and filters to ensure they are free of debris.
Checking refrigerant levels: The refrigerant in an air conditioning system is responsible for cooling the air. If the refrigerant levels are low, the system may not cool effectively, and the compressor may be damaged. During servicing, the technician will check the refrigerant levels and add more if necessary.
Inspecting the ductwork: The ductwork in an air conditioning system is responsible for distributing cool air throughout the building. If there are leaks or obstructions in the ductwork, the system will not operate efficiently. During servicing, the technician will inspect the ductwork for leaks and obstructions and make any necessary repairs.
Checking electrical connections: Faulty electrical connections can cause the air conditioning system to stop working or even create a fire hazard. During servicing, the technician will check all electrical connections and make any necessary repairs.
Testing the thermostat: The thermostat controls the temperature in the building. If the thermostat is not working correctly, the air conditioning system may not operate efficiently. During servicing, the technician will test the thermostat and make any necessary adjustments.
Regular air conditioning servicing can help extend the life of your system, improve its efficiency, and prevent breakdowns. It’s recommended to have your air conditioning system serviced at least once a year by a professional HVAC technician.
