Columbus Premier Heating & Cooling
Air Conditioner Maintenance Services in Columbus, OH
There are a whole host of benefits for our competitively-priced, cost-effective, seasonal A/C maintenance program. These benefits speak for themselves. For one, because our AC technicians look for things that could cause problems during the summer, it’s a great way to avoid the need for emergency repairs, as we mentioned.
Additionally, our technicians at Columbus Premier carefully check your AC refrigerant levels and lines, your controls, your belts, your electrical wiring and terminals. When performing maintenance, they also check fan motors, drainage lines, air filters, connectors, and much more. After that, our HVAC technicians replace any damaged or broken parts they find during their analysis. Preventative AC maintenance enables us to identify seemingly minor issues before they escalate into major problems that usually result in breakdowns.
4 A/C Maintenance Tips
As part of maintenance, our service technicians at Columbus Premier Heating & Cooling carefully analyze HVAC equipment to see if there are any problems. In addition to the more skilled things our technicians do, the following are a few Do-It-Yourself maintenance tips homeowners are encouraged to consider doing themselves:
Seal Your Thermostat
Check Your Air Ducts
Open up air registers and check inside them to see if your air ducts are dirty. Because air ducts tend to be the source of dirt and dust buildup during the off-season, it’s a good idea to make sure it’s not out of hand. If you discover it is dirty inside, you can use a vacuum cleaner (one with a HEPA filter would be best) to clean it out.
If it’s too much or too far to reach, check with us about our system-wide air duct cleaning service, which has limited availability.
Clean the Area
Remove plantlife, weeds, yard debris, and other foliage from your outdoor intake and exhaust vents to make sure nothing is hindering the airflow. As a general rule of thumb for anything located near this area around an outdoor unit, we suggest always keeping a three-foot radius of open space.
Utiliize A/C Covers
When wintertime is approaching and you’re done using your A/C, cover it to protect its coils from falling ice and other extreme weather while you aren’t using it. This cover need not cost much, and should not be airtight, so using a tarp is out of the question. However, trash can cover or a small sheet of plywood secured by bungee cords is ideal.
