Air Conditioner Maintenance Services in Tewksbury, Andover, Methuen & Beyond
When Do You Need Air Conditioner Maintenance?
Air conditioning maintenance should be performed on an annual basis either before or immediately after the cooling season. This becomes more important as your system ages but may even be required for new systems to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty. Regardless of how often, maintenance is strictly a preventative measure and should never be used to deal with issues you’re currently experiencing.
Most of our Massachusetts customers find it convenient to have their maintenance performed in the spring when temperatures are consistently above freezing but are cool enough not to run your air conditioner.
What is Usually Found During Air Conditioner Maintenance?
It really depends on the age of your system, how well it was designed for your home, and how recently it was maintained in the past. Most often we find older, neglected systems to have many issues, but some of the following can be found in air conditioners of any age:
- Rodent damage to wiring in the outdoor unit
- Failed fan/blower motor at the air handler or outdoor unit
- Fail capacitor in the outdoor unit
- Debris build-up in outdoor coil fins restricting airflow
- Leaking outdoor coil due to damage or wear and tear
- Damage to the outdoor unit due to fallen ice
- Clogged condensate line
As we alluded to earlier, annual maintenance can help prevent any and all of the above issues, avoiding costly and unexpected breakdowns when you need your AC the most.
