It’s always a good idea to look into some basic maintenance and any fixes through our AC repair in Hamilton services before the weather warms up. We like to work together with our clients to ensure their air-conditioning units are working efficiently.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of some common issues and maintenance boxes you can check for the spring.
- We like to suggest that our clients start by inspecting outdoor panels. These enclose all the electrical connectors and are important for the system’s efficiency and your safety. One of the first things to do before you turn your AC unit on his check to see if these are misaligned or missing completely. If you find any issues, give us a call and one of our AC repair in Hamilton technicians will fix the problem.
- It’s also a good idea to check for leaves or any other debris on the outside coil. Depending on where your unit is, garbage or vegetation might have blown up against it. Remember these are designed to transfer heat and keep your air-conditioning system working. They need to be cleared up before the spring.
- Early in the season is a great time to check to make sure your air conditioner is level. Many units sit on a concrete slab that can sink into the ground over time. It’s important to remember a condenser needs to be kept even so it works properly. Getting this part of the job done can be as easy as using shims in the right spots.
- If you try and turn your unit on and it doesn’t work, the problem could be with the thermostat rather than the air-conditioning unit itself. Check the batteries first. If that’s not the problem, one of our AC repair in Hamilton technicians can swap the old one out for a new one.
There are some other simple steps that you can take to make sure your unit is in good working order before you turn it on. Cleaning the return grills and supply events helps. Use a vacuum here to get rid of any dust or pet hair that might have accumulated during the off-season.
There are some parts that you won’t be able to fix or maintain by yourself. For example, if there’s a problem with the compressor fan, our AC repair in Hamilton services can replace parts as necessary.
