Air conditioning manufacturers recommend an annual AC tune-up. With regular maintenance, air conditioning units have an average lifespan of 10–15 years. Without regular maintenance, though, your AC system could quickly develop problems that require expensive repairs or a complete system replacement. It’s important to realize that most manufacturers also require maintenance upkeep to guarantee warranties associated with your AC system.
The HVAC technicians at Hoffmann Brothers provide a full range of AC services (including basic maintenance and service repairs on broken units). We also repair AC systems of all types, sizes, and brands of cooling units and will provide AC installation your new unit when a replacement is required.
As a part of our Home Protection Plan, the air conditioner maintenance is included along with free filters, and priority service.
Air conditioners are a lot like cars. If you don’t perform routine maintenance, it will eventually stop running. It’s been proven time and again that routine maintenance will extend the life of your AC unit, increase its efficiency, decrease the odds of needing repairs, improve performance, and lower your utility bills.
Although some things should be left to the professionals at Hoffmann Brothers, there are plenty of DIY maintenance duties that will extend the lifespan of your AC unit and keep it running at peak efficiency!
Changing the Filters: The most important maintenance task is to replace or clean its filters every month or two during the cooling seasons. This is why every manufacturer mandates maintenance must be performed or they have the right to void their warranty. Clogged, dirty filters reduce airflow and decrease HVAC systems’ efficiency by as much as 30%, and a clogged condenser coil will damage the unit.
Outside AC Unit Maintenance: Inspect the outdoor unit monthly to make sure that nothing (like dirt, leaves, grass, and other debris) is blocking the airflow across the condenser coils, causing strain. If you see that your outdoor AC unit is becoming dirty, call the certified technicians at Hoffmann Brothers to perform more complex maintenance!
Check Thermostat: We offer Thermostat Installion and repairs when your system is not responding properly.
