Air Conditioning Repair Pasadena

Reasons You Need Preventive Maintenance on the AC System

We all avoid unnecessary calls to the repairman, any kind of repairman, when we can.  It can be very expensive to have someone come out to your house to repair your appliances or fix an issue with your air conditioning system.  However, if you have preventive maintenance done on your AC unit, you can actually benefit by it in several ways.

Benefits of Preventive AC Maintenance

Keeps Repair Costs Down

By catching small problems early during a preventive maintenance call, our technicians can prevent these problems from getting bigger and helping you to extend the life of your AC system.  Dirty condenser coils can make the unit work harder, which can lead to the air conditioner’s compressor to break down.

Replacing the compressor is a much more expensive job than cleaning the coils and maintaining them, along with the rest of the system.  During the preventive maintenance call, our technician can spot other problems, such as water leaks, that can damage the unit or your home if not caught or repaired in time.

Longer Lasting Equipment

By getting a preventive maintenance air conditioning repair, Pasadena residents can help extend the life of their air conditioning unit and keep it operating efficiently.  Your AC system needs to be serviced and cleaned on a regular basis to keep it running its best.  If it is neglected, simple repairs can become major issues, which can lead to the equipment needed to be replaced.  By keeping your system maintained regularly, you can prevent costly repairs and save money on both your energy and replacement costs.

Helps Reduce Energy Costs

If an air conditioning unit is not cleaned or serviced on a regular basis, it has to work harder in order to properly cool your home.  When it works harder, it uses up more energy to do so and you will end up paying more money on your energy bills.  Not replacing a filter or having dirty coils can force your unit to work harder, making you pay more on your energy bills in the long run.  By keeping a maintenance schedule for your AC system, you can ensure your system not only runs efficiently, but you will save money on your electric bill as well.

Keep a Maintenance Schedule

Replacing an air conditioning unit can cost several hundred, if not a couple of thousand, of dollars and it can making the necessary replacement can come at an inconvenient time, usually when the temperature is at its hottest.  To keep your system from being overworked, make sure you keep track of the maintenance schedule for your AC unit.  You will want to note when the filter was changed, when any repairs were made and when you had the equipment cleaned.  By tracking this information, you can make sure that you are regularly getting your system serviced so you don’t end up replacing it before its time.  Keeping a schedule will also give you the peace of mind that you are protecting the investment in your home.
