How Often Should I Service My Air Conditioner?

What Are The Benefits Of Regular AC Inspections?

Regularly arranging for your air conditioner to be inspected and/or serviced will mean that your device works optimally. When your AC system is serviced, it helps to improve efficiency. Smaller issues addressed regularly will avoid major, expensive issues later on, which means regular air conditioner inspections could save you money in the long run.
 
Routine inspections will also help identify when you should consider replacing your existing air conditioner. When air conditioners reach the end of their life cycle, they tend to become more inefficient and could cost up to 40% extra to run. By identifying when it’s time for a new unit, you’ll save on energy costs over the years. Ultimately, a small amount of money spent on a service can be quickly recovered when you consider that you’ll enjoy lower monthly energy bills and lower repair costs.

What Should My Annual Air Conditioner Maintenance Include?

Even if you don’t expect any problems with your AC system, we advise booking a service at least once a year. Over time, dust and dirt have a tendency to accumulate in condensing coils and air filters. This can drastically decrease the efficiency of your unit, but regular maintenance will free your device from this debris.
 
As part of a service, you can expect the following to be checked:

• All connections and lines
• Refrigerant levels
  
• Temperatures
  
• Pressure levels
  
• Motor
• Coils
  
• Drain line
