Your Air Conditioning and heating equipment, no matter what brand you own, should have a Spring AC Check Up that includes a complete inspection and service. The best scenario is to have your heating system checked in the Fall and the air conditioning

checked in the Spring.

A Spring AC Check Up is essential to make it through our long hot summers here in the South Houston, League City and close-by neighborhoods. Call or Text us at 409-354-1234

Here are 5 of the most critical elements in your Spring AC Check Up:

1. Checking the refrigerant
The refrigerant in your AC system cools the air passing through the indoor AC coil to help keep the temperature and humidity in your home under control. More importantly this same refrigerant travels down the insulated large copper line to then protect the outdoor unit compressor from overheating. While you may still feel cool and comfortable inside, a lack of the proper refrigerant level in your system can damage the compressor, causing big problems.

2. Checking and flushing the drain lines
   The drain system for your indoor cooling coil (often located above your ceiling) must be able to drain away 35 to 55 gallons of water each week You can imagine the mess that could occur if the indoor cooling coil drain clogs and then leaks all over the ceiling, walls and floor of your home. During a Spring AC Check Up our professional AC Service Technician will test and flush the drain to be sure it is draining properly. Be sure to ask about additional measures such as a float safety cut off to further help prevent overflows.

3. Checking the indoor blower and cooling coil for cleanliness
Air flow through your AC System is another import factor for maintaining the comfort level in your home effectively. A dirty blower wheel or plugged up fins on your indoor coiling coil can reduce air flow dramatically costing you more energy dollars, and reduction of the life of your air conditioning system. Scheduling a Spring AC Check Up is a great way to determine if it’s time to clean these critical components to achieve adequate air flow.

4. Rinsing the outdoor cooling coil
Allowing the outdoor unit coil to breathe, releases the heat that the refrigerant has gained from the air in your home. Your AirVantage Spring AC Checkup includes rinsing the outdoor coil to help with this important heat transfer. Note: we require access to a good working water source in order to accomplish this task.

5. Checking the indoor air ducts for air leaks
Let’s keep the clean cool air in your home as opposed to letting it leak into the attic. Your AirVantage service technician will check your system ducts and know if you’re losing air that you’ve paid to air condition. If air leaks are present we can help you with the best solution for solving this problem.

Be sure to call or text us at 409-354-1234 to get your Spring AC Check Up scheduled early in the season so you and your family can have a great summer in 2019.
