Some of the important air conditioning maintenance checkpoints are mentioned below:
Cleaning of Condenser Coil
Condenser coils in your air conditioning system collect dust over time and this results in blocking the passage. Blockage will raise the refrigerant pressure which directly increases the electric bill. During air conditioning maintenance, we would clean the condenser coil and ensure that the refrigerant pressure remains at an optimum level.
Refrigerant Charge
Another common issue with air conditioning systems. A drop in the refrigerant charge can make its compressor shut down. This happens due to a safety mechanism built into your compressor. This not only puts your compressor at risk but also increases the electrical bills. Check for refrigerant leaks regularly.
Controls – Inspected and Tested
Your HVAC system has a number of controls in it to ensure the proper functioning of the system. This is also to protect vital components. During our Air conditioning maintenance, we check all the controls and safety features and make sure that they are operating properly.
HVAC components, especially the outdoor units are exposed to harsh weather conditions. Sunlight and rain wear out the contactors and electrical relays. All loose connections are fixed and an end to end inspection and troubleshooting is carried out for all electrical connections.
Temperature and Pressures – Recorded
We take temperature and pressure readings of your air conditioning system. An anomaly in the readings can point to an underlying problem, which is then tracked and fixed. Regular temperature and pressure readings also reduce emergency service time.
Capacitors – Tested
The capacitors are thoroughly tested and correct electric readings are verified. A faulty capacitor is promptly replaced.
Unit Disconnect – Tested
A worn or overheated disconnect switch blows fuses and is dangerous.
Lubrication – Motor Pulleys and Bearing
Proper lubrication is carried out for all moving parts such as pulleys and motor bearings.
Belts and Pulleys – Inspected and Replaced
All the belts are checked for proper tensions. Pulleys are properly aligned and adjusted. Cracked or worn-out belts are replaced with new ones.
Condensate Drain – Checked and Cleaned
The condensate drain of your HVAC system is drained and cleaned and any debris is also removed.
Air Filter – Replaced As Needed
A clogged air filter would cause inconsistent airflow and mess up the pressure readings. This can shorten the compressor’s lifespan. Air filters are replaced as often as necessary to extend the useful life of your air conditioning equipment.
Voltage and Amperage
The electrical draw of the blower motor, compressor and condenser fan motors checked and recorded. Improper voltage and amperage draw increases operating costs and shortens the useful life of motors and electrical components.
Thermostat – Checked and Calibrated
An incorrect reading of the thermostat can result in confusion between setpoint temperature and ambient temperature. This can result in your air conditioning unit to run longer than required. During the HVAC maintenance, we check your thermostat and calibrate it according to OEM specifications.
