If we have one tip for home and business owners, it’s to invest in preventative HVAC maintenance! While pushing off this annual task is easy to do, especially in busy seasons, tune-ups will save you a ton of time and money in the long run.

This blog focuses on AC maintenance: what it entails, why it’s important, and how it prevents AC repair needs in the long run. Keep reading for your guide to air conditioner maintenance in Murrieta, CA, and the Temecula Valley!

What a ProFlo AC Maintenance Appointment Includes

It’s normal for your air conditioner to need a little TLC over time and with regular use. Parts can become loose, worn out, or dirty, affecting your system’s safety and efficiency.

At ProFlo, our technicians are trained to follow a thorough checklist that ensures we address every aspect of your air conditioner. This list includes:

• Cleaning vents, fan blades, and condenser coils
• Recalibrating thermostats as needed 
• Checking wiring, pulleys, and belts, repairing them as needed
• Replacing air filters
• Checking for leaks
• Ensuring accurate refrigerant levels 
• Any other necessary repairs or adjustments

Your air conditioning is a complex electrical system. These minor adjustments may not seem like they’re too important, but they add up to significantly impact your system’s efficacy.

How AC Tune-Ups Help Save Energy

A well-maintained air conditioner will use far less energy. AC maintenance achieves this in two significant ways. The first is cleaning. When your air conditioner has dirty condenser coils or air filters, it has to work harder to produce the same cooling effect because the airflow is restricted. That means it’s regularly using up more electricity to do the same job.

The second factor is that AC maintenance fixes problems that place additional strain on your unit. If your electrical wiring is faulty or your refrigerant levels are too low, your AC is straining to do its job and using more energy in the process. The result? Higher energy usage and much higher electricity bills.

Why Annual HVAC Service Keeps You More Comfortable

A poorly maintained air conditioner can cause more problems than just high energy use. From ineffective temperature control to odd sounds to mugginess, an AC that isn’t working right can make summers in the Inland Empire far from comfortable.

Regular AC & Heater Maintenance Prevents Future Breakdowns

Those little problems your HVAC technician catches and repairs during your maintenance appointment? They can all devolve into more serious issues if they aren’t fixed early on. What could have been a minor AC repair often ends up causing an entire unit to break down.
