Residents of the Austin area weren’t thinking much about air conditioning over the past week, when the polar vortex affected the Eastern half of the country all the way down to the southern border. With temperatures dropping into the 30s, residents were happy to have heat. Usually, February or March is when residents might schedule their annual air conditioner maintenance in Kyle TX to make sure the system is ready for springtime, when temperatures start getting into the 80s routinely.
Advantages of Routine Maintenance
Winters are mild in this part of the nation, and summers are hot. Summertime also tends to be humid in the Austin area. Central air conditioner maintenance in Kyle TX makes sure that the equipment will run as efficiently as possible and also helps prevent breakdowns that are most likely with older systems. And annual cleaning and adjustment extends the life of the unit.
Any repair work that should be done can be taken care of during this appointment instead of waiting for the equipment to malfunction. Often, the technician has the right components in the truck or van for replacement, although sometimes a short trip must be made to get one.
Questions for the Technician
This is a good time to talk with the heating and cooling technician about renovations and upgrades that are being planned for the home. For instance, the central air conditioner’s size is intended to provide climate control for a certain range of square footage. If the homeowners plan to have an addition built onto the house, this may significantly alter the square footage. Also, depending on the location of this room, there may be difficulty keeping at a comfortable temperature unless a register and ductwork is installed for it.
The customers also can ask about any problems they’ve experienced with the central air. Perhaps a room at the far end of the house is always too warm during the summer, or maybe one room gets too chilly. Adjustments to the duct work can be made by a contractor such as AIM A/C and Heating Services to resolve these issues. Click here to schedule an appointment.
