AC Maintenance in Fruitland Park
Air conditioning plays a vital role in living comfortably in Fruitland Park. With warm winters and hot, humid summers, homeowners frequently use their air conditioners. The heat, humidity, and salty air cause wear and tear on the system. Fortunately, homeowners can take steps to extend their air conditioners’ lifespan. Regular maintenance helps ensure that the air conditioner is ready for the hottest summer weather.
An AC maintenance visit from M&S Air Conditioning includes these services:
- Air conditioner inspection
- Cleaning air handler and condenser unit
- Checking for leaks
- Cleaning coils
- Replacing refrigerant
Every maintenance visit starts with our technician conducting a thorough inspection of your air conditioning unit. They will turn on the air conditioner and listen for any unusual noises.
We also check the airflow throughout your home and look for signs of warm or cold spots. Our team examines the premises for indications of mold, mildew, or condensation. They inspect all parts of your air conditioning system, including the compressor, fans, blower, and contactor points.
During an air conditioning maintenance appointment, one of our technicians checks the refrigerant level. We assess the refrigerant levels of your air conditioner and add refrigerant as necessary, ensuring we dispose of any old refrigerant safely. Checking the refrigerant level is crucial for every maintenance visit.
When the refrigerant level is too low, your AC cannot absorb heat from your home, leading to increased system operation. This can cause higher utility bills, reduce efficiency, and eventually result in the complete failure of the AC compressor.
Another important task we do during an air conditioner maintenance appointment is thoroughly cleaning your unit. As your air conditioner operates, dust, dirt, pollen, and other particles accumulate inside the unit. A dirty air filter obstructs airflow, causing poor circulation and an increase in dirt in your home. Additionally, dirt on the coils inside the AC unit forces your system to work harder, leading to diminished performance.
Many homeowners ask how often they should schedule AC maintenance. In Florida, we recommend scheduling your air conditioner’s service at least once a year before the summer heat arrives.
