Why do you need Preventive Maintenance on your air-conditioning unit?
02/08/12
An air conditioning unit is a piece of mechanical equipment, which requires
routine inspections and maintenance. Roof top units and ground-mounted units
face some of the same challenges here in Arizona with regards to maintenance
needs. There are two coils on the unit, both of which air must flow through.
The indoor coil is protected by a air conditioning filter, which is supposed
to catch most of the particles in the air. The outdoor coil collects dirt and
debris and needs to be cleaned twice a year. The indoor coil is called the evaporator
coil, and the outdoor coil is the condenser. Most major manufacturers recommend
having your equipment serviced twice a year.
Jolly Air recommends having your HVAC system serviced and maintained by us
twice a year. Call us today for one of our PMA's.
The ground-mounted unit (typically called the air conditioning Condenser) usually
picks up more contaminates than one mounted on the roof. Grass, paper, dirt,
lint, and dog hair are a few of things that will stop the air from circulating
properly through the coil. When on the roof, the unit typically collects dirt
and air born pollutants.
Most motors produced today for residential use are sealed and do not require
lubrication. Belts need to be adjusted and even replaced occasionally.
