How a Professional AC Repair Can Boost System Efficiency
When HVAC systems are inefficient, they perform less efficiently, raise your energy bills, and require more frequent repairs. Experiencing certain issues is a sure sign your AC system is not working as it should. By addressing these problems, you can ensure that everything works efficiently.
Protecting AC Coils From Leaks and Dirt
Corrosion can make coils subject to leakage. A common problem with leakage is your system becoming undercharged, which harms overall efficiency. When you have your system maintained, you can avoid a lot of potential issues impacting system efficiency.
Preventing Motor Wear and Tear
Dusty motors or motors running low on lubricant will have to work harder. The bearings and windings can wear down faster, and the increased workload can reduce overall efficiency. Increased wear on these components can be a precursor to a breakdown, resulting in your unit requiring replacement.
If your motor is noisy or seems to be working harder than usual, it may require lubricant. Another possibility may be your motor needing a thorough cleaning from a technician. Regardless of the cause, you will benefit from having a technician check everything out.
Ensuring Your Home Is at the Right Temperature
Your thermostat or thermostat sensor may need checking if your home is not at the right temperature. If either of these are not functioning as they ought to, your house may not cool at the right temperature.
Having your thermostat or thermostat sensor repaired or replaced will resolve many issues with home temperatures. Opting for a smart thermostat is a great way to enjoy better energy efficiency.
Enjoying Better Efficiency With the Right-Sized Unit
Many homes have an AC unit that is the wrong size. Larger units reach set temperatures quickly but cycle off and on frequently. Short cycling decreases the unit’s lifespan and wastes energy. When systems are too small, they must run longer to provide sufficient cooling.
It’s not uncommon for homeowners to not know whether their unit is the right size. However, a professional can take measurements to see what unit is the right size.
Newer Units Are More Efficient
Older AC units are less energy-efficient than their newer counterparts. Your unit will have to work harder to keep pace with newer units because of the reduced efficiency. These older units are more likely to require repairs, which may make replacement a more viable option.
Repairs that make your AC system more efficient are worth your time. When you need air conditioning services, contact Crocker Refrigeration Heating & Air in Santa Barbara, CA.
