How important is a Hilton Head air conditioner tune-up?
March 28, 2014Top 5 Reasons You Should Hire a Summerville Air Conditioner Repair Contractor
July 9, 2014If your Hilton Head air conditioning unit isn’t performing as efficiently or as well as you need it to, you most likely need professional service. Sometimes the air your AC unit is producing won’t be as cold as you need it to be. And sometimes you’ll notice higher energy costs when you haven’t been using your air conditioner any more frequently.
Spending the money to have a professional look at your AC unit can end up saving you a lot in the long-run. You’ll see your energy costs drop immediately, and you’ll save on expensive repairs you would have needed to have done. During a tune-up, our Hilton Head air conditioning repair specialists will check for leakage, refrigerant shortages, and check your belts and engine. These basic tune-ups will ensure that your AC is able to produce the most cool air possible with the least possible amount of energy spent.
What You Can Do
There are things that you can and should do on your own to make sure your Hilton Head air conditioning unit is in the best shape possible. Changing the filters at least once every 3 months during the cooling season is the most important thing you can do in the way of energy efficiency. You also may be able to check your ducts for any tears or parts that have come unattached. And there are some parts of your ducts that you can most likely clean on your own.
But it’s important to have a professional technician at least have a look at your unit. A professional can make sure your entire duct system is thoroughly cleaned, for instance, and doesn’t have any leakage points. Plus,there may be problems you wouldn’t have noticed without a professional. And those problems will only get worse if they go untreated.
What We’ll Do
Regular maintenance of your Hilton Head air conditioning unit will ensure that you’re catching problems as soon as possible. Waiting until you’ve noticed your AC is no longer working to call a professional can mean you’ll need in-depth, complicated, and expensive repairs. And at that point, you could be in an emergency situation. Having inspections and tune-ups regularly can prevent larger problems, which means you’re spending as little as possible not just on repairs, but on your cooling costs as well.
Our Hilton Head air conditioning repair specialists recommend homeowners have their AC units inspected and tuned up once every year. Having this done just before the summer months begin will save you on your cooling costs, and minimize the chances that you’ll need any repairs during the hottest part of the year.
