Keep Your AC Humming Along with AC Maintenance Orlando, FL
It’s true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And when the cure is a new $5,000 air conditioning unit, it pays to keep your current system in tip-top shape for as long as possible.
At Service Minds One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating, we have seen first-hand the costly consequences of a poorly maintained AC system. That’s why we recommend our customers schedule regular air conditioning tune-ups to ensure their cooling equipment operates optimally all year long. Take care of your cooling system and it will take care of you, so you don’t wake up to a nasty 100-degree surprise next July.
Extended Life; Optimal Performance
Twice-yearly HVAC maintenance calls from Service Minds One Hour’s experts ensure your air conditioner stays as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Here’s how:
- Clean and Strong: Our tune-ups remove dust and debris that may lodge in your system, restricting air flow, cooling capacity and energy efficiency. Did you know that without regular maintenance an air conditioner becomes about 5 percent less effective every year?
- Longer Service: How long would your car last if you never changed the oil, cleaned the fuel injectors, or replaced the air filter? Similarly, your air conditioner needs some TLC – topping up the coolant, lubricating moving parts, cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, and making minor adjustments – to keep Father Time at bay.
- Lower Bills: Regular maintenance from Service Minds One Hour’s makes your AC system work smarter, not harder, creating less waste. Your system won’t have to run as long to generate the same cooling capacity, so it will use less electricity, saving you enough for another trip to Disney.
- Pay Now or Pay Later: Our maintenance services are like health insurance for your cooling system. You pay a little now for the comfort that comes from avoiding major repair and replacement costs down the road.
Signs You Need AC Maintenance
Recognizing when your air conditioning system needs maintenance can save you from costly repairs or replacements down the road. Here are some common signs it’s time to schedule a tune-up:
- Weak Airflow: If the airflow from your vents feels weaker than usual, it may indicate a clogged filter, dirty ducts, or other issues that need attention.
- Unusual Noises: Rattling, banging, or squealing noises from your AC unit could signal loose parts or mechanical issues.
- Higher Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your energy bills without increased usage suggests your system is working harder than it should, often due to inefficiencies.
- Warm Air Instead of Cool Air: If your AC blows warm or inconsistent air, it may have low refrigerant levels or a failing compressor.
- Frequent Cycling: Short cycling—when your AC turns on and off frequently—can signal underlying problems, such as an oversized unit or malfunctioning components.
- Bad Odors: Musty or burnt smells coming from your AC system often point to mold, mildew, or electrical problems that require immediate attention.
- Humidity Issues: If your home feels more humid than usual, your AC may not be dehumidifying properly, which is often a sign it needs maintenance.
