When we run into uncharted territory in life, we typically look to the advice of someone who has been there and done that – an expert. For the majority of us, heating and cooling equipment or air conditioner service would be included in that category. It’s certainly not a trait that most homeowners in Ballwin and St. Charles have already and not one that many have the desire to gain the skills in. Luckily for you, your air conditioner service needs can be handled thanks to Air Alliance Team.
But what makes it so crucial to have a specialist take care of your air conditioner service over watching a couple YouTube videos and giving it a go yourself? We could write an unending blog on this, but here are just a few of the things that the pros do during the air conditioner service process:
- Check for the proper refrigerant charge. Having a system that has the correct amount of refrigerant ensures you have a system that is working efficiently. Too little refrigerant means your system will operate longer, decreasing efficiency and making your system work more than it has to. Too much refrigerant also means lower efficiency and can harm your system in the long run.
- Clean the coils. Both the indoor and outdoor coils might collect dust and dirt over time, decreasing your system’s efficiency in the process. Plus, a dirty indoor coil may potentially cause it to freeze over, generating an even bigger headache.
- View the filter. One of the most routine causes for an inefficient air conditioner is a dirty filter. Dirty filters make it tougher for your system to pull air through it before being sent throughout your home. Your home’s indoor air quality can also be diminished by dirty filters as well.
- Inspect the electrical connections. As is the case with a lot of appliances, connectors and screws can come unfastened, potentially causing harm to your system’s electrical components, including blower motors, compressors and control panels.
While there are tasks that you can do yourself, like buying and utilizing a
programmable thermostat, there are some things that should be left to the professionals. If you’re curious as to what the pros at Air Alliance Team can offer you when you set up air conditioner service, give us a shout at 636-206-4250 to set up an appointment.
