Routine air conditioning inspections are essential for keeping your system efficient, reliable, and ready to handle the summer heat. During a professional air conditioning inspection, the HVAC technician will check specific components to ensure optimal performance, identify any signs of wear or damage, and prevent costly breakdowns.
In this article, we’ll go over some other key things we do during a standard air conditioning inspection.
- Calibrate thermostat. Our technicians check that the thermostat is accurately reading the temperature and communicating effectively with the AC unit. A poorly calibrated thermostat can lead to improper cycling, uneven cooling, and unnecessary wear on the system.
- Clean or replace air filters. Dirty air filters restrict airflow and decrease indoor air quality, so the HVAC technician will check, clean, and replace these filters as needed. This is a quick and easy step that can help increase your system’s efficiency and reduce airborne contaminants throughout your house.
- Check refrigerant levels. Every air conditioning inspection includes checking the refrigerant levels. Low levels can cause poor cooling performance and lead to compressor damage over time. Our technician will also check for any potential leaks in your system.
- Clean evaporator and condenser coils. The coils can accumulate debris over time, which can hinder their performance. Our technician will thoroughly inspect and clean the coils to ensure optimal heat transfer and prevent issues like frozen coils or reduced cooling efficiency.
