If you’ve been debating getting air conditioning service, it helps to know all the services that are included. Air conditioning service comes with more than just a simple check-up.
What does an air conditioning service include? Find out in this brief explanation by Chud Cooling & Heating.
Air Conditioning Services: What’s Included
There are many services included when you get a professional to check your air conditioner, including the following.
Thermostat Check
Since the thermostat is the brain of the operation of your HVAC system, professionals will check this part to ensure it works. Your HVAC tech will check the thermostat’s wiring and batteries, as well as how the unit responds to temperature settings and other inputs.
Dust Check
Nothing’s more dangerous to your AC than dust. When you schedule maintenance with a professional, they’ll check your air filter and other components, clearing them of dust so they can function properly.
Electrical Connection Check
Everything from your blower motor to your condenser relies on electrical connections. Your HVAC professional will check the capacitors and all connections to ensure everything is working suitably.
Condenser/Evaporator Coil Check
Your condenser and evaporator coils are responsible for ensuring your compressor can produce cool air. Your professional will check these to make sure they aren’t frozen, overheating, in need of repairs, or covered in dust.
Airflow Test
Your air conditioner is only as good as the airflow it can provide. Even if you have the most powerful AC on the market, it doesn’t matter much if your blower motor and vents are shot. During a maintenance test, your professional will ensure that all airflow paths are clear so nothing overheats.
Safety Check
A malfunctioning AC can be dangerous, which is why HVAC pros take safety checks very seriously. During this step, your technician will conduct checks on all electrical components. They’ll also remove all dust from the system and clean or replace the air filter if necessary.
Refrigerant Check
Without refrigerant, your air conditioner is nothing more than a fan. If you have low refrigerant, there may be a leak; your technician will refill the compressor and check for the source of the issue.
Condensate Drain Line Check
If you have a malfunctioning condensate line, you’ll notice the water pooling underneath your unit. During air conditioning service, your professional will check to ensure your drain line is working so that you don’t have to deal with water damage later.
