With spring comes warmer weather and longer days, especially here in Florida. It’s the perfect reason to enjoy the air conditioning system you invested in. But as summer approaches, our units have to work even harder to keep us cool.
Luckily, there’s a service that protects your AC while making sure it performs well when you need it most.
With temperatures never really cooling down in our part of the country, the time to start thinking about how to best take care of your air conditioner this coming summer is now. Caring for it this early means it will be well equipped to get through the rest of spring, and the sweltering months of summer, with ease. We’re talking about tuning up your cooling system to help fend off the need for emergency air conditioning repair Fort Walton Beach, FL.
There are, of course, a few maintenance tasks that you can and should be doing on your own. For instance, your air filter needs to be changed every 1-3 months during periods of use, depending on the level of contaminants in your home. This helps protect both your cooling and heating systems. You should also ensure that both the outdoor unit and indoor vents of your AC are unobstructed.
In most parts of the country, we’re prepping for winter, by making sure our heaters are maintained and any needed repairs are managed. However, in these parts, winter doesn’t mean much—except that it’s the perfect time to turn off our air conditioners for a bit! This means it’s also the perfect time to schedule Navarre, FL air conditioning maintenance.
Remember though, only a highly trained technician can handle the variety of tasks involved with such a service, such as inspecting motors and electrical components, cleaning coils and moving parts, and making any adjustments necessary to prevent component or system breakdown. But is this service really necessary?
No matter what type of air conditioning system you have, it’s imperative that it be properly cared for in order to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness. If you’ve ever had a heat pump, you might have heard how important it is to have bi-annual maintenance done on the system since it is used year-round. What if you have a conventional central AC system though or a ductless system? Is it still necessary to schedule your Destin, FL air conditioning maintenance on a bi-annual basis?
The short-and-sweet answer is—“yes.” But why is that necessary? In Northwest Florida, our temperatures tend to soar for the majority of the year. While other parts of the country may use their cooling systems for 3-4 months out of the year, we use our considerably more—typically for 8-9 months, and we may even have heat waves in the “dead of winter.” Because of this extra use and wear on the system, twice-a-year maintenance is a necessity.
When you live in as hot and humid of a state as we do, your air conditioning system is naturally a huge part of your home’s comfort. Since it gets a lot of use over the years, it’s only natural that it will suffer from the effects of wear and tear and eventually need small repairs here and there.
To best prepare your AC system for the cooling load that it will bear all summer, a maintenance appointment is essential. Maintenance serves many benefits, some of which we’ve explained below. Be sure to contact us ASAP to schedule your summer AC tune-up.
The last two weeks we discussed spring air conditioning maintenance, and we’re going to address it again this week. There’s a good reason for this focus: routine inspections and tune-ups for an air conditioning system during the spring is one of the best things you can have done to prepare your home for the middle of the year. It’s a huge benefit to you in many ways.
Last week we brought up that it wasn’t too early to have your regular spring air conditioning maintenance scheduled. In fact, March is a great time to have this vital job done! It will give you plenty of preparation for the arrival of the summer weather so you can have any necessary repairs taken care of early. You’ll also be ready for whenever a sudden heat wave strikes.
The winters here in Northwest Florida are short and mild, and that means that while other regions of the country will still encounter cold days during March and into spring, we’re already moving toward warm conditions that will continue to rise steadily through to our hot and humid summers. You’ve probably already turned on your home’s air conditioner a few times so far in 2016, and that means the time has come to consider AC maintenance.
When it’s summer in Florida, air conditioning systems will put in some serious overtime to keep homes cool and comfortable. You don’t need us to explain to you how important the central AC in your house is during these hottest months of the year. But perhaps you may need some help to keep the air conditioner from encountering troubles with malfunctions and drops in efficiency. There are some ways that you may be damaging your air conditioner and not even know it. Here are three to watch out for this summer—and every summer to come.
Your air conditioner is a precision machine designed to give you many years—often more than 15—of quality cooling for your family. But as with any precision mechanical device, an AC must have regular inspections and tune-ups to make sure that it continues to run its best and without wasting energy.
