Even a newer system needs a little care. This air conditioner in Rudy is less than five years old, and in early September the homeowner booked a tune-up to keep it running strong. That is a smart move. The best time to take care of a system is while it is still working well.
What Our Technician Found
With the top of the outdoor unit off, our technician found leaves and debris collected in the bottom of the cabinet, and dust and dirt on the outdoor coil. The coil is where your air conditioner gets rid of the heat it pulls out of your home. When dirt builds up on it, the system has to work harder to do the same job.
A tune-up with our team covers the whole system: an inspection from top to bottom, a check of the electrical connections and refrigerant level, a look at both coils and how well air is moving, and cleaning where it is needed. On this visit, the outdoor unit was the part that needed the most attention.
What We Completed
- Completed a full AC tune-up on the system.
- Cleared the leaves and debris out of the bottom of the outdoor unit.
- Cleaned the outdoor coil so it can shed heat easily.
The Result
The tune-up and cleaning were completed in a single visit, and the outdoor unit is clean inside and out. You can see the difference in the before-and-after photos. If your system ever needs more than routine care, learn more about our AC repair service.
A clean coil and a clear cabinet let the outdoor unit move air and release heat the way it was designed to, which is exactly what you want from a system this new.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- New does not mean maintenance-free. Leaves, dust and yard debris find their way into even the newest outdoor units.
- Protect your investment. Regular care helps a system run efficiently and last as long as it should.
- Give the outdoor unit room. Keep plants, leaves and grass clippings at least a couple of feet away from the sides.
- Small problems are easier to catch early. A scheduled visit is the best time to spot anything that needs attention.
