Most modern homes are heated and cooled with what is typically termed as comfort appliances. This is a dual function appliance that cools the home in the summer and heats it during the winter. Plus, with most versions of this system you can simply run the fan when all you need is a little air circulation in the house. However, with such extended usage comes a higher chance of mechanical failure and eventual replacement of your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system.
The best way to guarantee you will get the most out of your HVAC is to have an A/C contractor such as Accurate Air Mechanical Services, Inc. perform routine maintenance on the appliance. In most cases this service should be done at least once or twice a year depending on how often you use the A/C and furnace. Maintenance generally involves some basic cleaning of the internal components like the blower fan and evaporator coil, but it can also include charging the refrigerant and testing the thermostat and other electronics.
Even the best maintenance programs can’t avoid the need for an occasional Air Conditioning Repair in Bel Air. Over time the mechanical components wear down and the electronics begin to fail and your HVAC will simply stop cooling the home properly. In many cases you will notice the air conditioner doesn’t blow as much cool air as it used to or the air is simply warm instead of cold. This is usually caused by the condenser not kicking in properly or the refrigerant being too low.
