Unlock the Secret to a Longer-Lasting AC Unit: Regular Maintenance

Time and money are two things we never seem to have enough of. Here in Florida most, if not all, use a system to keep their buildings cool during the hottest months. Anywhere from 9 to 12 months out of the year, we can find our AC systems running at some point during the day. So how do you keep it working efficiently as well as economically? The secret is Regular Maintenance.

How often do I need…

There are many parts to an Air Conditioner system that the average person does not encounter in their day-to-day life. One way that you can maintain your system is by regularly changing your A/C unit's filters. Changing your filter every month can save you time and money down the road. There is even such a thing as 3 and 6-month filters now, for those who want to keep this regular task to a minimum. I have gotten into the habit of changing my filter after I make my house payment every month. Customers of Frosty Flamingo HVAC Services get a monthly text reminder, which is awesome! When you sign up for one of our maintenance plans, you also get discounts on parts plus regularly scheduled visits from our licensed technicians, to inspect and clean all the other parts of your AC Unit.

What do they do during a maintenance appointment?

Our licensed Air Conditioning Professionals check the condenser coils, evaporator coils, the fins of the coils, refrigerant levels &/or signs of refrigerant leakage, the electric connections to maintain them, and many parts in between. This is a guaranteed way to extend the life of your system, saving you money on costly repairs.

Summary

As mentioned, not performing regular maintenance can decrease the life of the unit and cause increased energy costs, not to mention a potential safety hazard. Something so simple as a basic filter change and routine inspections can save you time and money down the road.
