How Can You Maximize the Lifespan of Your AC System in Georgia?

The inspection portion of your maintenance appointment allows us to examine the air conditioner’s components to find out where any trouble might be starting from. This way, you can schedule time for our technicians to repair the problem before it grows into a bitter problem. Our professionals thoroughly clean your air conditioning system in order to remove the grime and dirt that puts additional friction on moving parts and causes it to age more quickly. An inefficiently operating and ill-maintained air conditioner doesn’t have much chance of lasting more than 7-8 years, let alone 10-15. The motors responsible for powering the compressor and the fans of your air conditioner can suffer the most strain over the years, and maintenance professionals keep these components lubricated so that they last as long as possible. One of the things our technicians check for during maintenance is the refrigerant. If your system is losing refrigerant, it means there is a leak, and this can have a detrimental impact on the efficiency and efficacy of your air conditioner. In fact, if you let it go on long enough, it can break down the compressor. Once the compressor fails, you may as well just plan on replacing your air conditioner altogether.

“What Type of Furnace Filter Do I Need?”

Monday, February 14th, 2022

There’s a fairly common misconception amongst Roswell area homeowners in regards to their HVAC air filters. Given their name, people assume that air filters do exactly as their name implies–filter the air. But there are different types of air filters, and the one that comes standard with your furnace installation isn’t there to protect your air, but rather to protect the furnace.

Now, there are different kinds of “air filters,” air filtration systems, and air purifiers with replaceable filters that are designed specifically to filter out your indoor air, making it cleaner and easier to breathe. But the furnace air filter works to keep debris such as dust, dirt, and more out of the furnace and off of the heating system’s sensitive components.

There are also different types of HVAC air filters, including fiberglass mesh, pleated, and even “permanent” air filters. Read on to learn more!

How Long Do AC Units Last in Georgia?

Monday, May 3rd, 2021

two-technicians-working-on-air-conditioner

The short answer to this question is that the expected lifespan of any given air conditioner is about 10-15 years, with most AC manufacturer warranties covering repairs and replacement for 10 years.

There are a lot of factors that impact this lifespan though. For instance, the type of air conditioner you have matters. The most common types of air conditioners in Georgia homes are the central AC system, the ductless mini-split, and the heat pump system. Ductless systems tend to last a little longer as a whole system because you can replace each air handler as they fail without replacing the whole entire system. Standard heat pumps and central AC systems though stick pretty firmly to that average lifespan.

There is one service in particular that you can invest in that makes it possible for these systems to reach that lifespan and not quit on you before then—maintenance!
