Ideally twice a year, but certainly once, you need to get your AC unit checked for any potential problems. While you may think that it is an unnecessary expense while all seems to be working well, that’s the whole point. Appearances can be deceptive.

Here at A&E Heating and Air Conditioning in 2018 we don’t leave things to chance and you’d be quite surprised just what we check up on when having a thorough look at your AC unit. For example, the following all get a good once-over:

• Motors
• Electrical connections
• Contacts
• Fuses
• Switches
• Controls
• Coils
• The state of your air filter
• Refrigerant components in case there are any leaks
• Condensate drain line

You don’t have to look far to find someone whose AC unit has let them down at the worst of times – it might even be you – so you know that it makes sense to be a little extra cautious.

However, it also makes sense to have a professional check out another important element within your home which, if they don’t function perfectly, will cause you even greater nightmares. Here we’re talking about your domestic electrical system. After all, when you think about it, here’s not much point in having a perfectly working AC unit if there’s no electricity supply, is there?

There is another good reason for having your AC unit regularly checked, and for getting your electrical system checked as well.

A check on your AC unit will reduce the chances of the system breaking down, which in turn reduces the possibility of having to pay a costly emergency call-out fee. The added bonus is that an efficiently running AC unit consumes less power, which means a lower fuel bill.

Getting your electrical system checked will reduce the chances of ever needing an emergency call out as well but, more importantly, it will protect all the electrical items in your home. Getting your electrical system checked over will reduce the likelihood of any power surges or drops in power, both of which are bad news for any electrical items.

The best next move you can make is to give us a call and we’ll explain to you in greater detail exactly what we can do for you and, before we come out, ensure you have a clear idea of any (reasonable) costs involved.
