The advantages of a maintenance agreement for your air conditioning
Regular air conditioner servicing has many benefits
- Increased efficiency of operation
- Reduced chance of a costly, major breakdown at the worst time
- Longer lifespan of the unit
- Increased comfort
- Lower operating costs
- Improved air quality
- Priority call-out
- Adherence to manufacturer’s extended parts warranty
Energy Efficiency
Regular air conditioner servicing can improve your air
conditioner's efficiency. A clogged air filter in your air conditioning system
can affect its efficiency as it will obstruct the air flow and increase the
energy consumption.
A clean air filter in your room air conditioner, whether it
is a ceiling recessed cassette system, or a ceiling suspended system, saves 15
percent energy compared with a dirty one.
Dirty condenser coils will make the air compressor run harder which
increases the energy consumption and your electricity bill.
Lower Repair Costs
If regular maintenance is not carried out, your air
conditioner could eventually cost you more on major repairs. Additionally, if your room air conditioner
is installed in a business-critical server room, any breakdown will severely
affect business continuity. Scheduled
air conditioner servicing from London Cool can help you keep small problems
from turning into the need for major AC repairs. Regular servicing will also help you to
identify the leaks which can affect your air conditioner or building structure.
Longer Life
All appliances, whether they are wall or floor AC mounted
systems, have a specified ‘shelf life’ in which they can perform well. Regular
maintenance will increase the life and performance of the air conditioner. If any one part fails in the air conditioner
system, it will affect the overall performance, eg a dirty filter and condenser
will result in premature failure of the internal parts of your air
conditioner.
Scheduling your air conditioner service will help improve
the overall lifetime of your system and ensure it operates at optimum
efficiency.
Improved Performance
Sometimes an air conditioner will not provide the comfort
that you need, even using it to its full capacity. An appliance loses 5% of its efficiency every
year but with regular servicing a unit will maintain up to 95% of its original
efficiency. This means that the cost of a regular service is quickly recovered
in savings on your monthly electricity bill and in reduced repair costs. A
properly serviced air conditioner will also do a better job of dehumidifying
your home or office.
Better Air Quality
An efficient air conditioner will also clean the air in your
offices or other premises. The filter is
designed to catch the dust in the air, although the more dust that gathers, the
less efficiently the filter will work.
Regular servicing ensures that any build up of dust is removed and the
filter will be able to do its job in keeping the internal workings of the unit
clear. It also purifies the air that
passes over it so that everyone is breathing clearer air.
If possible, a good time to have your air conditioning
installation serviced is the spring so that you can ensure your system is
running smoothly, at its maximum capacity and its minimum energy consumption,
before you really need it. You are also
likely to get a more timely service if you arrange it for before the service
technicians get busy in peak season.
What does a regular service entail?
An air conditioning service technician will look at and
listen to your air conditioner closely. As a minimum, he should check -
- the system operating pressures against the manufacturer’s specifications
- the system operating temperatures against the manufacturer’s specifications
- the operation of all zone motors
- and test condensate pump and carry out a condensate removal test
- all safety devices
- Clean the condensing unit coils
- Clean the evaporator coils
- Oil the fan motors (if required)
- Tighten all electrical terminals
When your air conditioner needs more than regular
maintenance, a well-trained professional service technician will find and fix
problems in your air conditioning system.
Most manufacturers, such as
Fujitsu, Daikin, Mitsubishi Heavy, Mitusbishi Electric or Toshiba,
require that a maintenance or service contract is in place in order to comply
with the manufacturers’ extended parts warranties.
The technician may:
- Check for the correct amount of refrigerant
- Test for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector
- Capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system, instead of illegally releasing it to the atmosphere
- Check for and seal duct leakage in central systems
- Measure airflow through the evaporator coil
- Verify the correct electric control sequence and make sure that the heating system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously
- Inspect electric terminals, clean and tighten connections, and apply a non-conductive coating if necessary
- Check the accuracy of the thermostat.
