Professional AC Maintenance in Calexico
Many parts make up your AC, and they must work together. It experiences wear and tear with use until it finally gives out. The typical lifespan of an air conditioner is between 10 and 15 years. Not all systems reach the 15-year mark, while others may exceed 15 years.
Professional maintenance entails:
- System cleaning
- Lubrication of moving parts
- Thermostat calibration
- Comprehensive safety checks
Professional and homeowners’ maintenance are two primary factors in the longevity and performance of an AC. As a homeowner, you need to care for your system with regular filter changes. Keep the area around the condenser unit free of debris and plants. Lastly, remember to schedule maintenance at least once a year.
