Summer is coming and temperatures are already starting to rise in some regions. For now, everyone can stay comfortable with their heating appliance, but in a few months, that will change. That means homeowners should be calling their local service provider to check their air conditioner unit now in order to make sure the unit is ready to face the coming season. Calling ahead is always recommended. At the beginning of the warmer season, most service providers are swamped with calls from homeowners complaining that their AC unit isn’t working. This means that homeowners who wait until the last moment could end up waiting several days for a service provider to visit. This could be a serious issue if temperatures are already in the triple digits.
When homeowners call for air conditioning service in Norman, OK they should be sure their provider checks the three major parts of the system. The unit itself will need to be checked first in order to assure there are no mechanical or electrical issues. Damage to the unit could cause poor performance or prevent the unit from working altogether. The wiring coming to and from the unit will also need to be checked. Faulty wires are a serious fire risk or could be causing the unit to work improperly. Arguably the most important part of the system are the ducts. Air needs to be able to move freely in and out of the home in order for the unit to work properly. If the ducts are damaged, the unit will have to work much harder to maintain the temperature of the home.
Service providers such as ClimaTech Heat and Air are happy to help homeowners assure their unit is ready to face the coming season or even replace the unit if it isn’t going to last. These service visits should be scheduled twice per year. Once at the beginning of Summer and once at the beginning of Winter. Assuring proper performance could help the unit operate more efficiently and save the homeowner hundreds of dollars per year on energy costs. Homeowners who haven’t called for air conditioning service this year should schedule an appointment right away.
