How To Best Prepare Your AC for Summer in Florida

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022

Peaden technician servicing ACSummer is when the Florida sun really beats down, causing you to seek relief in the cool AC. Ensure your air conditioner can keep you comfortable without failure with a few simple maintenance steps that can also help you increase system efficiency!

1. Change Your Air Filter

Start summer off right with a clean air filter. When your air handler filter is clogged with dust, it restricts cool air from flowing throughout your home. Some cool air will make it through a dirty filter, but the air will circulate dust and other irritants.

Changing your filter every one to three months allows your AC to run more efficiently, saving you money on your energy bills and improving the indoor air quality for you and your family.

2. Clear Debris From the Outdoor Condenser Unit

Outdoor condenser units tend to get cluttered with twigs and leaves over time. They can also house critters during the winter season.

Ensure your AC is off, and clear away any debris you see near the base of the outdoor unit.

3. Check the Refrigerant Lines

While you’re outside clearing debris around the condenser, inspect the coolant lines. They should be thick insulated tubes or pipes that run from the condenser.

Check for holes, fraying, chew marks, leaks, or other damage that needs professional repair.

4. Schedule a Professional Maintenance Appointment

Now that your AC is thoroughly cleaned and a new filter is in place to ensure efficiency and indoor air quality, schedule air conditioner maintenance with an HVAC technician to complete the tasks that only a professional can do, such as:

  • Checking and topping off refrigerant
  • Inspecting breakers and fuses
  • Cleaning evaporator and condenser coils
  • Testing thermostat accuracy
  • And more!

The Benefits of an Energy Savings Plan

Thursday, November 30th, 2017

Preventing AC repairs and saving money is always a plus, and when it comes to your air conditioner, there is a simple solution that doesn’t take a lot of time or effort on your part. The Energy Savings Plan is an excellent way the team here can provide you with significant benefits when you own an AC system. Here are just some of the advantages that you will enjoy, and trust that you will discover more on your own when you sign up for our Energy Savings Plan.

Fewer AC Repairs

Because your unit will be taken care of by professionals on a routine basis, the first benefit you will notice is that you are not going to be calling in technicians for as many AC repairs. With the proper maintenance being applied, the individual components will all be able to withstand the natural elements better and this will keep everything functioning as it should.

Longer Lifespan

When you enlist in the Energy Savings Plan, your heating and cooling system will have a longer lifespan. Preventative maintenance can save you thousands on having to replace your system prematurely, and it will also keep those major repairs away as long as possible. Even if you perform maintenance on your own like filter changes and temperature control practices, you will want the experts involved for the yearly servicing.

Convenient Scheduling

When an AC repair does demand the attention of experts, you will find the Energy Savings Plan will help you out because you get a discount on labor and parts as well as priority service. If you have a busy life, this convenience can make your day run smoother and your home stay at comfortable temperatures. The technicians are quick to respond, and the Energy Savings Plan is transferable, so if you decide to sell your home, you will be able to give new owners peace of mind when they use the heating and cooling system.

Savings on Your Energy Bill

One of the best parts about the plan is that you will save money on your energy bill because the energy consumption will be lowered, and you will see this on your energy bill. You can then use those savings on other parts of your house or put them in a savings account for a rainy day. Whatever you decide, by keeping the experts involved, you will have a heating and cooling system that runs efficiently and costs you less.

Access to Multiple AC Repair Services

There are multiple AC repair and maintenance services on the plan that you will have access to at an affordable price. From cleaning and inspections for equipment (such as heat exchangers and air filters), to equipment replacements and safety control tests, you will get the services you need completed by professionals. If you want to make the most of your system, prevent AC repairs, and keep your home comfortable, then contact us to learn more about the Energy Savings Plan today.
