Extending the Life of your Air Conditioner in Utah

Air conditioners can last for a long time if you know how to maintenance them. Many people don’t realize that the estimated lifetime for air conditioners includes routine maintenance. There are a few things that you can do in order to extend the life of your air conditioner. Air conditioners can last for up to 15 years with these tips.

Tips:

Open all of the Registers

Opening all of the supply and return vents ensures that your AC isn’t working harder than it needs to. When the vents are either closed or blocked by furniture, the Air Conditioner will try harder to cool your home. You can extend the life of your air conditioner simply by keeping the vents open.

Schedule Routine A/C Maintenance in Utah with a Professional

Annual maintenance is the most important thing that you can to extend the life of your air conditioner. Air ducts should be professionally cleaned about every 3-5 years or more if someone in your home has allergies. Routine maintenance will make sure that any issues your air conditioner may have does not go unseen. If one part is not working properly or efficiently then the entire system is probably overcompensating. This causes the air conditioner to go under unnecessary stress that may cause the system to need to be replaced sooner than necessary.

Replace the Air Filters Every 1-3 Months

Air filters play an extremely important role in ensuring that your AC is functioning properly. The filters filter dust, debris, pet hair, and allergens from entering your AC system. Clean filters help reduce dust build-up inside the system which can overall slow it down. Dirty filters also reduce the air flow which makes the air conditioning system overcompensate.
