• Keep your ac clean by getting a tune up from a professional & regularly changing your filter. You can also keep your blinds shut & avoid opening windows or doors. Another way to save money on your energy bills is investing in a thermostat that has a set schedule to regulate the use of your air conditioning.

For optimal performance air conditioners need to be serviced every year to ensure proper operation & efficiency. An AC tune up will include cleaning condenser coils, testing the refrigerant levels, inspecting the indoor blower motor & wheel & checking for leaks & debris. Neglecting annual maintenance could result in decreased performance & efficiency & can also lead to pricey repairs.

Depending on the type of air filter you currently have you may need to change it every month or 3 months – some filters only require a clean/replacement every 6 months. The best way to find out the method to clean your air conditioner is to contact a professional HVAC contractor so they can perform a thorough cleaning & properly maintain your air conditioner.

On average, a direct replacement & installation of an air conditioning unit takes around 4 – 6 hours. Additional time may be required depending on factors such as if the installation team is replacing the coil, disconnect, lineset, flushing the lines, replacing the ac pad, setting the ac on brackets, etc. along with any other variables that may have been included in the agreement for the AC installation.
