Air conditioning is as important as having transportation around town. If your AC unit breaks in middle of summer in Florida people realize how important air conditioning can be. Most people don’t realize the importance of maintenance until their unit breaks and they need a repair.

Maintenance on your air conditioner will include cleaning of the condenser (outside unit) and air handler (inside unit) coils, checking the pressures, cleaning the drain line, inspecting the connections and a basic cleaning of the units (wiping off dirt and dust).

Every home owner should have their AC systems cleaned once a year to help prevent parts from breaking and to help maintain the efficiency of their system. No one would ever drive their car for a year and not change their oil. But people do it all the time with their AC system. Remember that your air conditioning is running almost all day everyday during the summertime. A repair could end up costing more then a simple maintenance once a year on your air conditioning system. It cost $59 to come out to your home and diagnose the problem with your AC. A repair can cost anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars.

By getting maintenance done every year the technician will be able to notify the home owner if they notice an initial problem begging with the central air conditioner. This can make for a simple repair before the problem gets too big. The older the system is the more important it is to get maintenance done yearly to avoid costly repairs.

Signing up for our ESA program is $155 for the first year and $117 for every year after. This program includes discounts on repairs, priority service and no extra charge on the weekends. This is a small price to pay yearly rather then having to pay a thousand dollars for a repair.

Lennox is the first and only company in the world to offer a solar powered air conditioner. We all know that living in Florida we have plenty of sunlight all year around. It can also reduce the CO2 emissions by about 7,500 pounds per year. This carbon dioxide comes from the power plants that it takes for your air conditioner to work.

A precision tune up (PTU) is a fancy name for cleaning the indoor and outdoor unit of an air conditioner system. This entails cleaning both coils (indoor and outdoor unit), clean the drain line, check and inspect all wires and connections and make sure the unit is working efficiently. Cleaning the coils on a unit means more than just spraying water to get the dirt off. The coils are constantly sucking in air therefore in bedding and compacting the dirt deep in the coil. A coil cleaning spray should be used to break up the dirt and dust that is deep within the coil and then rinsed thoroughly with water. The refrigerant should also be checked to make sure there are no leaks.

The benefits of having a PTU done on your system will help your system last longer and run the the best it possibly can. Just as the oil in a car needs to be changed every 3,000 miles, an air conditioner needs to be cleaned on a yearly basis. Not having your unit cleaned yearly is compared to not changing the oil in a car for 166,000 miles. Remember that during summer time in Florida an air conditioner is on almost all day.

It is recommended by Energy Star that an air conditioner system should be tuned up yearly. Some companies say that this should be done twice a year, but there is no real need for that. If a company does a tune up once a year and does a thoroughly efficient job the air conditioning system will be good until the following year.
