What Will Regular Maintenance Do For You?
To make sure that your air conditioning system requires fewer repairs and has a long life, use the services of an experienced St. Louis HVAC company to carry out periodic preventive maintenance of your air conditioner. With extensive knowledge of air conditioning, heating, and ventilation, Air Excellence Heating and Cooling can help you get the most out of your investment.
Basic Preventive Maintenance
- Optimal working conditions: Make certain that all conditions within your home are optimal so that your system does not have to work too hard in order to cool things down. Look for areas where cool air can escape and correct them so your air conditioning unit is not constantly running.
- Change or clean air filters when required: One of the simplest preventive maintenance measures you can practice is the changing or cleaning of your air conditioner’s air filters. This simple task can add years to the life of your HVAC system and prevent costly repairs. When filters get clogged with dirt and dust, it increases the chances of the fan getting littered as well. As a result, the fan becomes weighed down and cannot operate properly. You may experience a serious malfunction with your system and some very costly repair or replacement charges.
- Clean air ducts: Clogged air ducts restrict the flow of air which in turn causes your system to work harder than what it is supposed to and drives your utility bills up. Clogged air ducts can even cause motor burnout in more serious cases. If you do not want to incur costly repair or replacement expenses, have your air ducts checked regularly and clean them out whenever it is necessary. This applies to any fans in your air conditioner system as well.
Preventive Maintenance Advantages
Most HVAC installation and repair companies offer preventive maintenance programs. Many individuals think this is an unnecessary expense until there is a breakdown and they are faced with costly repair or replacement charges. That can easily be avoided if you invest in a preventive maintenance program with a St. Louis HVAC company to clean and inspect your HVAC system.
Keep in mind that if you need an emergency service call, it will cost you double what a regular service call costs. When you consider how preventive maintenance will save you money, it is a worthwhile investment.

The Best Time to Schedule Air Conditioner Maintenance
In the winter, you use your HVAC system to keep your home warm, and during the summer you use it to stay cool and comfortable inside your home. It is better to have the air conditioner serviced in the off-season when the air conditioner is not required. The best time to schedule maintenance for your air conditioner is just before the onset of summer. The idea is to plan the maintenance at a time when outside temperatures are comfortable and you do not need the air conditioner, which generally means spring is the best time for HVAC maintenance. Even though spring has come and past it is never too late to contact us for a thorough system inspection!
Here Are Some Benefits of Preventive Maintenance of Your HVAC System:
A Lower Utility Bill
Preventive maintenance of the HVAC system ensures that it is working at its full capacity and consuming less energy. Energy efficiency not only translates into a greener environment, but also brings down the power bills considerably.
Maintains Efficiency
If you feel that your home is not as cool in summers and not as warm in winters as it should be, then it means your system needs to undergo proper repair and maintenance. Even a newly installed system needs regular maintenance to keep it operating at its peak efficiency.
Minimize Downtime
HVAC systems that do not undergo regular maintenance are prone to breakdowns.
Extends the Life of the HVAC System
Regular inspection, adjustment, lubrication, and cleaning of the HVAC system prolong its life by many years.
Safety of Family and Home
Preventive maintenance of the HVAC system is crucial not only for the health of the HVAC system, but also for the health and safety of your family. Regular testing during maintenance sessions helps detect impending issues such as electrical fire dangers and gas leaks. Such problems can pose a danger to the home as well as to the residents.
A Greener Environment
One of the biggest benefits of preventive maintenance of an HVAC unit is that it improves the energy efficiency of the systems. They consume the least possible power. So you save on the power bills and take a step towards making the environment greener and cleaner.
