WHY DO YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN YOUR AIR CONDITIONER?
“They say the best time to start on the maintenance process of an air conditioner is right before it is actually needed.”
Efficiency = Lower Energy Bills
The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean its filters. Clogged, dirty filters block normal air flow and reduce a system’s efficiency significantly.
With normal air flow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and impair the coil’s heat-absorbing capacity.
Keeping the filter clean can lower your air conditioner’s energy consumption by 5%–15%. An air conditioning system that is properly maintained will use less electricity when operating.
The cost of a service on your air conditioner will be paid back in electricity savings in a short period of time.
Indoor Air Quality = Health
Indoor air quality can impact the health, comfort, well being, and productivity of building occupants.
Allergic responses to indoor biological pollutant exposures cause symptoms in allergic individuals and also play a key role in triggering asthma.
It is therefore important to keep filters clean and well maintained.
Durability = Longer Lifespan
Regular maintenance leads to fewer repairs saving money over time because a well maintained system will not break down nearly as often as a system that does not receive that early attention. You can expect your air conditioning system to last for a much longer period of time if you maintain it every year.
Maintained Warranty
Last but not least, it is important to remember, from a financial standpoint, that manufactures require scheduled maintenance to be done on new air conditioners if they are to honour the warranty of the product. Non- or ill-maintained units risk a voided warranty.
