Now that it’s officially spring and we’re all looking forward to when the warm weather becomes a constant, air conditioning systems must receive special attention to prepare them for summer. We’ve recently written about the importance of scheduling annual spring maintenance for your home’s AC.
What is the most important component in a residential air conditioner? That’s tough to answer, because there are very few components in an AC that the system could do without.
Spring is the period when you should evaluate your home’s air conditioning system to see what sort of repairs and other services it may need so it will work at its best throughout the coming summer. But sometimes the best way to maximize your AC’s performance is to replace it.
Spring officially begins during the second half of March, but this is an extraordinarily (and proverbially) unpredictable month when it comes to the weather. You can anticipate dealing with both warm and cold weather, sometimes changing for day to day, and you probably won’t use the air conditioner on a regular basis until later in the spring, when summer moves closer.
It’s still pretty hot here in Eugene and you likely have your air conditioner working around the clock. It isn’t unusual to start seeing signs of wear and tear around this time of year, but one problem that is not considered normal is the build-up of ice on any part of your AC.
Your AC is a complex electro-mechanical system. In order to work, it needs a good amount of electricity, and this electricity has to travel from your home’s electrical panel to every component in your system that needs power.
It may seem surprising, but we get asked this question a lot. And we understand why: an air conditioning system is an air conditioning system, right?
We’ve just been through some incredibly hot weather here in Eugene, OR, and you may be seeing evidence of that in your current energy bills. One thing to really pay attention to right now is the SEER of your air conditioning system.
We are in thick of summer, seeing temperatures in the triple-digits. If you have whole house air conditioning, it is definitely getting a workout.
