Las Cruces AC Maintenance. Preventative maintenance is very important for keeping your HVAC running smoothly. It keeps your system working efficiently and catches problems before they disable your unit. There are many ways to maintain your system and make sure it has a long life.
Most people are aware they should replace the filters for their HVAC regularly but there are more ways you can prolong the life of your air conditioner than just this preventative maintenance. Other parts that should be cleaned and inspected include the condenser, evaporator coils, drain lines, pulleys, belts, blades and motors.
Refrigerant levels should be monitored as well as checking for leaks. Regularly check for dust and mold collection on the indoor and outdoor units. Also regularly inspect ducks and vents for any clogs. While this may seem like a lot of upkeep it is better to stay on top of it than to let a problem occur and have to pay for the aftermath. Furthermore, keep an eye on humidity levels within the house. If they are too high consider buying a dehumidifier. This will prevent moisture from accumulating within the different parts of the HVAC. Moisture can wreak havoc on your air conditioner.
There are both an indoor HVAC unit and an outdoor part of the HVAC. The outdoor unit should be inspected to make sure no debris or dirt is collecting on it.
