How would you feel if on the first 88 degree day of the year you came home from a long day at work only to find your home air conditioning system blowing hot air?

I am sure that you would not be happy. Well, all this could have been prevented by simply having SOS Mechanical do a pre-season air conditioning service on your home heating and air conditioner system.

There are several reasons to do a pre-season checkup on you home heating and air conditioning system.  Here are just a few:

1) A proper refrigerant (Freon) charge will assure your air conditioning system is working at an optimum efficiency. Contrary to popular belief, air conditioners do not consume refrigerant, so if you have to add refrigerant, you have a leak that should be repaired. Freon leaks reduce efficiency of the air conditioner. Freon leaks can freeze the evaporator coil, causing it to literally ice up. Low Freon levels can cause overheating and premature failure of the compressor, often requiring complete replacement of the compressor or the entire air conditioning system – a very expensive proposition.

2) A proper pre-season check on your home air conditioner will ensure all your electrical wiring and connections are tight and safe. Since the air conditioning condenser is outside your home, bugs and insects can sometimes get into the electrical components affecting the operation on the air conditioning equipment. Vibration can also make electrical wiring become loose affecting the operation of your HVAC system.

3) A proper pre-season check on your home heating and air conditioning system will assure that your air conditioning condenser coil and your air conditioning evaporator coil (inside) is clean. Having clean coils helps your air conditioning system “breathe” to be more efficient, have better airflow and also makes for a more comfortable home.
