What is the cost of air conditioner maintenance?

Repairing a damaged AC can cost between $80-$200, depending on the system and the extent of the damage. Generally, split system maintenance costs more than ducted system maintenance, while multi-split system maintenance is more expensive than either of the first two options. At Coolman Air Conditioning, we always seek to deliver competitive prices on our servicing and maintenance solutions to make sure you get the air conditioning fixes you need on a budget that works for you. The quicker you call us for maintenance, the less work and expense it will require to fix.

Do AC units require yearly maintenance?

Even without noticeable issues, you should arrange for a professional to service your air conditioning system at least once a year. They have the talent and tools to notice issues others may not, or that homeowners might deem unimportant; these may spiral into serious problems, and potentially even cause a breakdown of the whole system. We definitely recommend yearly maintenance (at least) to keep your AC in working order, but you should not need much, if anything, beyond a regular service.

How often should air conditioning be serviced?

Yearly servicing goes a long way towards keeping your system in top shape throughout different extremes of temperature and weather. However, if you use your air conditioning more than most, it might be best to get two services a year. On top of this, you should get a service whenever you notice a problem with the air conditioner – maybe it is making an unexpected noise or circulating an unpleasant odour.

What is included in an air conditioner service?

When we service your air conditioner, we do everything necessary to ensure it is working as it should, and stays that way. This means cleaning the air filters, drainage pans, and condensation pipes – the components might vary depending on the system you have, but these particular parts help to dehumidify and cool the air directly. In addition, we'll clean the evaporator and condenser fan, while also checking the coolant level; if you don't have enough coolant, this can lead to a build-up of ice. Finally, we inspect the full unit and check the vital components to prevent future breakdowns.

Do split system air conditioners need servicing?

Split systems work hard all year long, and homeowners use this type of air conditioning all year long, not just in the summer – this means it always circulates air, which contributes to a build-up of dust and dirt. You should service your split system air conditioner around once a year, but it's vital that you choose a good time to do this to avoid a breakdown at high or low temperatures. For that reason, we recommend you service it in spring or autumn; you want to be absolutely certain it will work at its best during summer or winter.

Why Is Air Conditioning Maintenance Important?

An air conditioner is a complex appliance, and like any complex appliance, it requires regular maintenance in order to function properly. If an air conditioner is not maintained, it will start to experience a variety of problems.

The most common problem is poor airflow. This can be caused by a build-up of dust and dirt on the coils and in the ductwork. As the air conditioner struggles to push air through the dirty coils and ducts, the unit has to work harder, which uses more energy and can cause the unit to overheat.

In addition, a dirty air conditioner will not be able to remove as much moisture from the air, leading to higher humidity levels inside the home.

While these are the most common problems associated with neglected air conditioners, there are other issues that can arise, such as leaks, system failures, and even fires.

As you can see, it’s important to keep up with regular maintenance in order to avoid expensive repairs or replacements down the road.

Benefits Of Air Conditioning Maintenance

Dust, pollen, and other allergens can quickly build up in your AC unit, leading to respiratory problems and headaches.

By scheduling regular maintenance appointments, you can ensure that your AC unit is running efficiently and that the air in your home is clean and healthy. In addition, regular maintenance can help to extend the lifespan of your AC unit, saving you money in the long run.

While the summer months may bring warmer weather, they can also bring higher energy bills. One way to help keep energy costs down is to make sure your air conditioner is properly maintained.

A well-maintained air conditioner will run more efficiently, meaning it will use less energy and put less strain on your power bill.

In addition, regular maintenance can help to extend the life of your air conditioner, meaning you won't have to replace it as often. By taking the time to properly care for your air conditioner, you can enjoy cooler temperatures without breaking the bank.

Plus, regular maintenance can help to prevent major repair issues from developing. By catching small problems early, you can often avoid costly repairs or even replacements down the road.

As a result, regular air-conditioning maintenance is essential for both maintaining comfort and saving money.

So if you want to stay cool and healthy this summer, be sure to schedule a maintenance appointment for your air conditioner today.
