Air Conditioning Unit Check
The a/c units are not cooling as well as we think they should. We are planning on getting them inspected. What are the things which are checked as part of an annual inspection? How much does it cost?
Answer:
This is the hottest we've had in 3 years. If your system cools okay during the late evening (when the sun goes down) and keeps the house comfortable until 10AM-12 Noon, you should be okay. The thing I tell customers is to sure the air filters are okay and the condenser coils are clear. Don't do a hard set back (78° or higher) on your thermostats because the house won't recover to comfortable temps until late at night. Do you have regular service on your systems? I have many customers that have me out in the spring for the annual service and I've only been called back by one during this heat wave and that was for a blown capacitor after a lightning storm.
