Do Maintenance Plans lower repair costs for old air conditioners?

As the season change and you go from wearing shorts to your snuggest cardigans, much like the weather, your home goes through its own changes to meet the comfort levels for your family. A commonly overlooked home appliance that is routinely neglected as seasons change remains to be the air conditioner and heating system. For homes with an Air Conditioning system that are older, finding low cost solutions to maintaining their system can not only prove to be money saving. It also allows your system to function at its top performance when you need it most.

With Air Conditioner systems built to last an estimated 10-15 years, a seasonal tune-up reviews the component parts that make up your system as well as measure the pressures to ensure that levels are accurate and not a result from a leak or faulty equipment which can contribute to energy consumption throughout the season.

The common repair on older units typically involves replacing component parts that have either been worn out through use or a malfunction caused by neglect of parts such as the coils, filters, drains, and motors. Routine maintenance plans over time becomes more useful in maintaining a working AC system. When wondering about the benefits, location is a factor to consider. If you reside in a northern state that experiences colder winters than hotter summers, there will be less strain expected from your Air Conditioner since heat advisories are less common and temperatures are milder. Areas like Central Texas experience temperatures above 105 degrees and heat advisories throughout parts of the summer demand more of your Air Conditioner. Older systems will find it challenging to keep your home cool year after year and overtime needs help. Here is a list of what to expect from one of our low cost maintenance seasonal tune-ups.

A list of what to expect when getting a tune-up on your system should include:


Spring HVAC Maintenance

  • Visual check for refrigerant leaks
  • Inspected and tightened all electrical connections

  • Check capacitors
  • Check blower motor amp draw
  • Check condenser motor amp draw
  • Check compressor amp draw

  • Inspect and test heat elements on electric systems

It is hard to see the future without a crystal ball.

How does the ban on R22 refrigerant and equipment affect my Air Conditioning System Cost?

In 2022, there has been some changes to the industry that is worth mentioning.  From the changes to the R22 equipment and supplies, to the timelines to which customer’s should consider replacing their equipment. In today’s market, financial planning and preparation comes with information and advice from professionals in the business. Let’s start with the positive: EPA has taken steps to reduce the pollution that Air Conditioning systems put out into the atmosphere. With the cease in production of R22 refrigerant and equipment, which release dangerous ozone depleting chemicals into the air, AC units today are manufactured to use the alternative 410a refrigerant. The 410a can absorb and release heat better than R22 and doesn’t contain chlorine atoms, making it safer for the environment than it’s counterpart. This didn’t happen overnight: This change has been a long time coming with the phase out of R22 dating back to 2010. If your system was installed prior to 2010, then it most like...
