The hot, humid Ransom Canyon, Texas, weather can make you feel sluggish and miserable without air conditioning. It’s also dangerous for children, elderly people, and those with severe health problems. A hot house can cause an elevated body temperature, heat exhaustion, and even death. Regular HVAC maintenance keeps your home comfortable and safe for you and your family. Air conditioning maintenance also saves energy, improves your indoor air quality, and prevents expensive, inconvenient breakdowns.
Energy Savings
Problems with your HVAC system keep it from performing efficiently and waste energy. Leaks in your ductwork or rusty or worn parts in your unit keep it from working properly. If you don’t have it repaired promptly by a professional, a minor problem could even force you to pay for a new air conditioner eventually.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Poor indoor air quality can lead to unpleasant smells, increased asthma and allergy symptoms, skin rashes, eye irritation, and more. You should check your HVAC system’s air filter once per month and change it at least every three months to prevent these problems. Also, keep leaves, grass clippings, twigs, and other debris away from your outdoor unit. Rinse off your unit with a hose when needed, but don’t use a pressure washer or other equipment that could cause damage.
Fewer Breakdowns
Dirty coils or low refrigerant levels could cause ice or frost on your air conditioner, which keeps it from working well and can eventually lead to damage. Regular maintenance can catch this and other problems before they become severe. It also extends your HVAC system’s life. That way, you can save money on repairs and get the best possible performance from your air conditioner.
