With the large number of 100-degree days that North Texas residents suffer through, you need to do everything you can to ensure that your air conditioning system will continue working optimally.  Preventive maintenance is an affordable way that lets you know you and your family’s comfort is protected all the way up until winter.  

Preventive maintenance involves an HVAC specialist closely and thoroughly inspecting and cleaning your air system.  They will check for parts that are beginning to show signs of wear and tear.  These are replaced so they won’t disrupt service later on.  The entire procedure will also make sure that your air system is working as efficiently as possible so that you don’t pay more than you should on your energy bills.

When your air conditioning system is being checked, one of the most important components, the condenser coil, is given particular attention.  This is the part that actually cools the air and needs to be cleaned for proper operation.  A dirty coil can run as much as 20 percent less efficiently, wasting your money. The refrigerant levels also should be checked and the blower components adjusted to make sure the air can be distributed properly.  These improvements in your air system can result in significant drops in your utility bills.  These savings can easily help offset the cost of the preventive maintenance itself.

These are some other steps performed during preventive maintenance that help keep you cool on even the hottest Dallas summer days:

• Inspect system controls
• Verify thermostat settings
• Tighten electrical connections
• Check condensate drains
• Lubricate moving parts

There is never a bad time to get preventive maintenance performed on your air conditioner.  If you have not had your air system checked out in over a year, you should arrange to have it done as soon as possible to prevent any unexpected breakdowns.  Contact Crawford Services Inc.today for an HVAC contractor who can assist you with all your heating and cooling needs.
