There are some great reasons to perform maintenance on your central air conditioning system. Industry leading air conditioner manufacturers, such as Amana, Goodman, Carrier and Rheem, require annual maintenance to maintain the equipment warranty. Just like maintenance is required for cars, it is required for central air conditioners. The owner's operation manual describes the required maintenance which is figured into the manufacturer's warranty period.
Performing professional annual or semi-annual air conditioning maintenance will keep your air conditioner clean, lubricated with proper fluid levels, such as Freon, while performing at its peak efficiency. This reduces noise, run time and energy consumption, all of which is a good thing.
Since central air conditioning units use high voltage and are often paired with gas furnaces, it is important to remember, there is a reason the state of Tennessee requires licensed HVAC/R professionals to install and maintain central air conditioning and heating systems and it starts with safety. Maintenance prevents and helps avoid potential system failures and hazards. Maintaining your AC system today my help you avoid a costly repair tomorrow.
