How to Maintain Your AC System

Air conditioning systems respond well to consistent care. At home or in your workplace, you can take practical steps to keep your AC unit in good condition.

To avoid costly repairs and increase the lifespan of your AC, follow these tips:

Clean and clear away debris from the inside of your unit
Clean and straighten the fins on the unit with a gentle stream of water or fin cleaning spray
Clean the evaporator coil using coil cleaner to prevent build-up
Change the blower filter twice a year to maintain consistent airflow through the unit

Consult with our Middle Tennessee AC professionals to get quality maintenance services that will improve your AC system.

Why Did My AC Stop Working?

Picture this: it’s a hot summer day, and the temperature inside of your home feels like the middle of a desert. Desperate for a cool breeze, you turn on your central air conditioner only to find that it’s not working. While a central air conditioner is a feature in your home that you might suspect wouldn’t break, it can stop working when you least expect it. But before you deem that your unit is broken beyond repair, here are some details to weigh out first.

The Filter Needs to be Replaced

When was the last time you replaced your unit’s filter? Just like getting an oil change for your car, it’s essential to change out this important detail from time to time, regularly. Think of this important detail in your unit as one of those water pitchers with a filter in it. If there’s a blockage in the water pitcher’s filter, then it will be rather challenging to have an excellent, clean supply of drinking water — and the same concept applies to your HVAC filter. If your unit’s filter is bogged down, then it will make it extremely difficult for the system to transport air and keep your home cool.

Your System is Due for Retirement

On average, central air conditioners last anywhere from a minimum of 12 years to a maximum of 15 years — and that’s with regular maintenance and upkeep that will help your AC run in tip-top shape. Having this knowledge is truly one of the essential pieces of information to know since it can give you an insight of when you should be looking into a potential upgrade. In the same light as purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, it’s essential to know how many miles are on it and how long it will hold out; the same applies to your central AC. Granted, your AC won’t be pre-owned, but you should know just about how long ago you purchased it and how much longer you may have with it.

The Thermostat Might be Broken or Placed in the Wrong Spot

Ah, the thermostat! Known to be the brain of your unit, this essential piece to the puzzle will help make your home cooler than an igloo on the hottest of days. Now, if your home’s thermostat has seen better days, then it might be causing your HVAC unit to go into overdrive — especially when you least expect it. Nowadays, the best alternative to a thermostat replacement is to invest in a smart thermostat — which can be controlled from the palm of your hand (thanks to a smartphone).

Signs You Need AC Repair

Below are 4 signs to look for to avoid a complete AC failure,

Warm Air -
Warm air is the last thing you want to feel on a hot summer day. If your AC unit is blowing hot air, it could be a clogged air filter or even a broken motor.
Insufficient Airflow -
Poor airflow is another sign to look for that your AC system may need some repairing. It could be that your ductwork as some blockage that is preventing proper airflow to pass through.
Frequent Cycling -
It's normal for your AC to turn on and off in order to provide the proper temperature throughout your home. If your system is turning on and off more then 3 or 4 times in 15 minutes, your system may be short-cycling. Give us a call to come and inspect your AC unit.
High Humidity -
During summer, it can get humid and sometimes sticky outdoors. That doesn't mean you should experience that in your home. If your AC unit isn't moderating the humidity within your home, it could just need a simple re-calibration.
