How Can You Extend The Lifespan Of Your AC Unit Through Regular Maintenance?

How Can You Extend The Lifespan Of Your AC Unit Through Regular Maintenance?

As a homeowner, you rely on your air conditioning unit to keep you and your family cool during the hot summer months. However, if you don't care for your AC unit, repairs, and replacements could cost you a lot of money. Regular maintenance is the key to extending the lifespan of your AC unit and keeping it running efficiently. At We Fix It Home Services, we specialize in AC repair service in San Tan Valley, and we're here to help you keep your unit in top condition.

Here Are Some Tips On How To Extend The Lifespan Of Your AC Unit Through Regular Maintenance

  • Change Your Air Filters Regularly

One of the easiest and most effective ways to keep your AC unit running smoothly is to change your air filters regularly. Dirty air filters can clog your system, causing it to work harder and less efficiently. This can lead to higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan for your unit. We recommend changing your filters at least once every three months or more frequently if you have pets or allergies.

  • Keep Your Condenser Coils Clean

Your AC unit's condenser coils release heat from your home. If they're covered in dirt and debris, they won't be able to do their job effectively, and your system will have to work harder to cool your home. Make sure to clean your condenser coils at least once a year or more frequently if you live in a dusty or polluted area.

  • Check Your Refrigerant Levels

Your AC unit's refrigerant is what cools the air that's circulated throughout your home. If your refrigerant levels are low, your unit won't be able to cool your home as effectively, and it could cause damage to your system. Ensure your refrigerant levels are checked by a professional AC technician at least once a year.

  • Inspect Your Ductwork

Your AC unit's ductwork distributes cool air throughout your home. If your ductwork is damaged or dirty, it can lead to poor airflow and a less efficient system. Ensure your ductwork is inspected and cleaned by a professional AC technician at least once every few years.

  • Schedule Regular AC Maintenance

Finally, the best way to extend the lifespan of your AC unit is to schedule regular maintenance with a professional AC technician. We Fix It Home Services offers AC maintenance services in San Tan Valley to help keep your unit in top condition. Our technicians will inspect your unit, make necessary repairs, and ensure your system runs efficiently.

My unit would not cool below 79°. I contacted We Fix It Homes Services because Mike the owner has done work for me before and is a man of integrity, honest and top notch.

I highly recommend this company. They gave a detailed plan and performed the plan. They installed a quality unit and it is working above our expectations. Mike graciously answered all my questions and questioning. He and Jeremy arrived early for every appointment. We asked them to replace our unit on Thursday morning and had cool by Friday at 1:30. We are very pleased.

I had a great experience with this company and specifically 2 of the employees, Ralph and his brother, who came out to fix my AC unit. After my home warranty company left me with no AC in 100+ degree weather for months they came out and got it up and running in no time. Ralph figured out what was wrong with my unit, found the parts and even sent his brother to help get it repaired after hours. They both were extremely responsive and did not disappoint. I would highly recommend calling them first if you have any issues with ...

I have nothing but great things to say about this company. They’re honest, on time, extremely competitive and do absolute top notch quality work. We’ve had our A/C unit replaced by them, annual checkups and maintenance, work done at relatives homes (mold removal and UV light installation) and other work at our previous home. We’ll be lifetime customers and I’ll gladly recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!

The owner showed up early in the morning, on time, on a holiday weekend. He had my AC working in 10 minutes. Price was so reasonable that I was shocked. I had anticipated an inflated holiday charge. Very professional. I HIGHLY recommend this company.
