AC Maintenance

Keeping your air conditioning unit in good condition throughout the cooling season is essential. Regular AC maintenance is vital for your home’s comfort and safety, preventing unexpected AC repairs, avoiding premature replacement, and enhancing your air conditioning unit’s performance. A routine checkup of your cooling system before summer’s high temperatures can save you time and money during the hottest days of the season. A reliable air conditioning unit should last 10-15 years, but with annual AC maintenance, you can extend its lifespan by several years. Call New Comfort Heating and Cooling today at 708 717 9995 to schedule your maintenance and enjoy worry-free, cool, and comfortable indoor spaces all summer long.

As a homeowner, make sure to replace your 1-inch air filter monthly. For units with media filters, check them every 3 to 6 months. This simple habit can prevent damage to your HVAC system and save you time and money on unexpected service calls.

1.
Extend the Life of Your AC

With regular AC maintenance, you can improve your air conditioner’s lifespan. Cleaning your outdoor unit with special treatment to unblock the coil from debris is crucial. By performing routine checkups or addressing minor faults before summer, you can avoid major breakdowns that typically occur on the hottest days.

2.
Lower Utility Bills

A simple clean and check can significantly boost your AC’s performance, reducing energy consumption and lowering your monthly energy bill. Routine AC maintenance is the most cost-effective step to save money in the long term by keeping your electricity costs down.

3.
Minimize AC Repairs

During maintenance, a qualified technician inspects all cooling system components. Detailed checks identify current and potential future issues, which are explained to help you understand your system’s condition. Proactive repairs can reduce the likelihood of emergency calls during the hot summer months.

4.
Improved AC Unit Performance

Air conditioning units are designed not only to cool the air but also to remove humidity. Proper AC maintenance enhances your unit’s functionality, especially in eliminating humidity, ensuring your home stays comfortable on hot, humid days.

5.
Coil Fins

While cleaning your air conditioning unit might seem straightforward, many homeowners inadvertently push dirt and debris deeper into the unit, clogging the coil fins and overworking the fan. It’s best to hire an HVAC contractor to handle this task professionally. Call us, and we’ll ensure it’s done the right way.

6.
Clogged Condensate Drains

Your AC unit runs for long periods during summer, which can lead to debris entering the system through return air vents or dust buildup from the furnace. These particles can clog the drain. During a deep maintenance session, a technician can flush or replace the drain if needed. Remember to request this extra step during your regular AC maintenance service.

Whether you’re located in Clarendon Hills, Darien, Downers Grove, La Grange Park, Western Springs, Willow Springs, Elmhurst, Orland Park, Palos Heights, La Grange, Indian Head Park, or Homer Glen, our team is ready to ensure your AC is running at its best.
