So what actually happens during maintenance?
The technician who comes to your home will go through a checklist that covers every part of your air conditioning system. Here are some of the major steps involved in regular maintenance:
- Checking the thermostat. The thermostat’s operation is crucial to making sure that the air conditioning behaves the way it should. The technician will see that the thermostat is calibrated correctly.
- Cleaning the condensate line and drain. This will ensure that the AC will not start to drip water because of a blocked drainage system.
- Oversee the electrical system. The technician will make tightenings and adjustments where necessary to ensure that the electrical system is in good shape.
- Check on the compressor and make sure that its motor amperage is correct. Damage to the compressor is one of the most serious issues and AC can encounter, so this is an especially important step.
- Check airflow and change the air filter.
- Looking over the evaporator and condenser coils to see that they are clean and free from damage. The technician will clean the coils if necessary.
- See that the refrigerant in the system is at its proper charge, and adding the necessary amount if it is not.
- Lubricating of all mechanical parts that require it. This will reduce the mechanical stress that can lead to motor burn-out and energy-draining operation.
