If you live in a climate that gets hot in the summer, air conditioning is more than just a luxury. It can be a literal lifesaver. Every time you hear about people suffering from the effects of heat during an intense heat wave, they may have fallen victim because they were out in the heat for too long without proper protection or their air conditioning unit wasn't functioning properly. This is why we always recommend having you air conditioner inspected, maintained and repaired if necessary before the weather has a chance to really get hot.
Keeping your air conditioner well-maintained isn't just a way to stay comfortably cool during the summertime. It's also a good way to save on your summer electric bill because the moving parts work more efficiently. Moving parts like the belt and bearings in the motor can be a special problem. If they slip out of place or aren't working as well as they could, they can make distinctive noises like a squeal or rattling that an HVAC technician can use to diagnose a problem. These sounds can be intermittent but may still indicate a developing problem with your air conditioner unit.
If it's an old unit or one that has been neglected for quite some time, you may be wondering if it's even worth repairing. Maybe it works only in fits and starts because it's degraded to the point where it would just be a massive money sink to be repaired. If that's the case, our technicians can bring an entirely new unit out to replace the old one with.
You might think that there are many ways to beat the summer heat and, actually, you're right. Maintaining your air conditioning is the most obvious and most effective option because an air conditioner that runs smoothly, efficiently and quietly is one that will keep you cool even when you aren't thinking much about it. So give our air conditioning technicians a call when you need to beat the summer heat.
