I can’t survive if I don’t have air con in my room, do you know that we need to service our air con periodically. There are several reasons why air con servicing is very important.
The first one is that it ensures that your air conditioner functions at its peak especially when you want it most.
Regular servicing also improves the efficiency of your air conditioner. Experts warn that for every year of operation in which you do not service your air con, it loses 5% of its efficiency. After 3 years therefore, the efficiency of your air conditioner will have decreased by 15%. This adversely affects its performance.
Regular air con servicing also finds and addresses small problems that if left, could grow into much bigger problems that are more expensive to repair.
However, the encouraging news is that, with regular maintenance, you can actually recover a high percentage of the lost efficiency. According to research, regular air con servicing will give it 95% of its original efficiency. Thus, the amount of money that you use to service your unit can be recovered very quickly in terms of reduced monthly electricity bills and reduced costs of repair. An air conditioner that is properly serviced also dehumidifies your home.
So how frequently should you service your air conditioner?
Heating and cooling professionals say that even if you do not suspect that your air conditioning unit has problems, you need to have it serviced and inspected at least once every year. This will ensure that it operates at maximum efficiency. It will be ready to cool the house in the months when you require it most.
As the air conditioning unit runs, it tends to accumulate dirt and dust in critical areas such as the air filters and the condensing coils. This can adversely affect its efficiency. The buildup of dirt and dust, if not checked, reduces your machine's operating efficiency by 5 %. This means that that your air conditioner cannot cool the house as much as it should when clean.
Many service companies also wash the condenser of the air conditioner and this can save you a lot of headache as well as money in future. Although it is a simple thing, failing to wash your condenser could cause it to malfunction and even ruin it totally.
As a homeowner, the best thing you can do for your air conditioning unit is changing your filter. Ideally, you should change the filter at least once every 30 days.
