Service is the first step in the correct operation of the air conditioner

We all know the fact that an air conditioner is one of those appliances that require attention. Thus, when buying a refrigerator or a TV, the buyer’s costs end at most on investments in delivery or installation. But let’s note that the progressively developing market constantly offers us new products that in turn require additional cables, chargers, sliding panels, software, etc. Since an air conditioner is an affordable pleasure, but still quite expensive, its manufacturers assume that the consumer will not have to spend much on its maintenance.

The Importance of Seasonal Air Conditioner Maintenance

Some companies in the description of the equipment note the need for service at least once a year. The maintenance of climate control units has a seasonal connotation and is associated with two opposite functions cooling and heating. Service engineers of DR HVAC comfort solutions recommend carrying out this procedure at least twice a year, respectively, in spring and autumn. There are several completely logical reasons for this, which, unfortunately, users think about at the time of failures in the air conditioner, when damage to the system has already been done.

When analyzing the factors that affect the operation of climate control equipment, the most important of them, of course, will be seasonality. In the spring, the period before the start of using the air conditioner is important, since flowering, fluff, and insects often clog the fans of the outdoor unit, preventing the intended volume of air suction from the outside. For this reason, small flows are directed to the indoor unit, which either directly reduces the speed of reaching the temperature you set, or, in expensive price segment units, switches the operating mode to forced. One or another case significantly affects the amount of electricity consumption, which is a common reason for refusing to use an air conditioner to save the family budget. In addition, such an operating algorithm, so to speak, at the limit of possibilities, will certainly lead to repairs over time, or even worse – the need for an absolute replacement of the device. A similar situation can be observed in the fall during the heating period with an air conditioner, while dried foliage completely clogs the outdoor unit.

Fresh air in your home is primarily the result of a clean system.

It should be noted that the above-described scenario of the operation of the air conditioning equipment will involve a significant amount of dust getting onto the filtration system of the equipment. And here it is worth thinking not only about personal comfort but also about the health of all residents in general. Our specialists have repeatedly encountered dissatisfaction with the installation, saying that the air in the room becomes heavy and even provokes a cough. The only correct answer to this will be a question about the date of the last service, and here, as you can understand, everything falls into place. To save the resources of your body, which will be forced to fight environmental pathogens 24 hours a day, along with the service, DR HVAC comfort solutions engineers will explain both the cause of this or that discomfort during the operation of the air conditioner, and the possible consequences of delaying the service.

With our deep regret, not all owners of even expensive models of equipment know about the possibility of allergic reactions, runny nose, and cough, red eyes along general poor health in the absence of regular maintenance of the device. The air conditioner should be perceived by you as a filter. And like the expression “ignorance of the law does not exempt from liability”, the absence of a picture of a dirty filter in front of your nose does not exempt you from the negative consequences of bad, as a result, the air in the room.

The dangers of not having free

Speaking about service maintenance, I would like to add that its component necessarily includes measuring the freon pressure. The importance this service point is especially relevant in the first year of operation of the equipment, since incorrect installation of the air conditioner, namely the laying of the freon line, can lead to the independent release of the refrigerant from the system. Considering this, the very first service performed by a specialist will allow you to identify installation errors, correct them, and prevent a further drop in the efficiency of your equipment. Again, heating or cooling with a minimum amount of freon in the installation circuit, in addition to not achieving the temperature background parameters you set, will colossally increase energy consumption with each season, slowly but surely, destroying the system.

A reasonable person looks to the future in all his actions, which is why climate control equipment should be considered, first of all, as an investment. In most cases, a drop in energy efficiency, cooling capacity, and the quality of filtration of air entering the room are immediate results of a lack of air conditioning maintenance.
