Electrical problems, inadequate oil lubricant and blocked suction lines are all things that can cause your AC unit to fail. While these are important to think about, the real failure comes from lack of preventative care for your unit. We have identified the three main things that, on a larger level, cause A/C failure.
1. Regular Maintenance
The biggest thing we stress to all of our clients is regular maintenance. Our production manager Andy Gibson said it best when he said Regular maintenance really goes a long way. Not maintaining your AC unit is a lot like buying a new car and never changing the oil. We recommend cleaning and servicing your unit once a year. The ideal time to clean is spring, just before the cooling season starts. Regular changes to filters not only keeps the air in your home cleaner, it helps your unit run more efficiently, which saves you money on monthly bills and helps your unit last longer.
2. Check-Ups
While maintenance is crucial for keeping your unit clean, there are a few things too look out for between scheduled service. In the spring cottonwood and pollen can do a lot of damage in blocking up your air filter. If you can't see the coils, it's time to address the problem. Keep an eye on your filters and overall cleanliness of the unit, if it looks dirty or blocked up, it's time to call in the professionals.
3. Professional Technicians
Speaking of professionals, one thing that can really do damage on your unit is an inexperienced 'technician'. Your air conditioner is an investment and worth paying a professional to fix and maintain. Improper maintenance and a quick fix can do long term damage to your unit. Don't risk damaging your unit with inexperienced service, trust professional technicians to protect your investment and keep your unit running efficiently longer.

Your AC unit works hard and deserves respect. For a lot of people, their AC units go under-appreciated until they break down. To prevent things from breaking down when you need them the most, schedule regular check-ups with professional technicians that can diagnose an issue before it becomes a major problem.
During the year, your air conditioner gets dirty. Dust-caked coils, dirty filters and blockages are just a few of the many issues that come with a years' worth of work. Servicing your unit prevents these little cleaning issues from becoming costly repairs. The best times to clean and check your system is after a summer of working hard to keep the house cool and again after a long dormant winter where your unit collects dust.
Regular check-ups are common for a lot of things in life. Regular doctor appointments gauge health and will alert doctors to potential problems. Regular oil changes help extend the life and health of your car. Without these check-ups you run the risk of developing more serious and costly expenses.
The health and longevity of your unit is only part of the reason you should be scheduling maintenance checks for your unit. The other factor to consider is the efficiency of your unit. An inefficient unit could be costing you a lot of money through the years. Annual check-ups make sure everything it running the way it should be, as efficiently as possible.
The older the unit, the more important regular maintenance is. Older units have an increased chance of breaking down and are less efficient than new models. Regular maintenance could save your system from a costly breakdown.
While maintenance does have an upfront cost, the amount of money you saved in preventing big breakdowns and increasing efficiency more than makes up for the cost of an annual check. Peace of mind that your unit is running smoothly and shows no signs of letting you down when you need it the most is an added bonus of regularly scheduled check-ups. It's finally spring and summer will be here before you know it, call today and schedule your check-up today. Our professional service technicians will make sure your unit is clean, efficient and ready to work all summer long.

It's May and that means the weather is finally warming up. It's not quite time to crank on the air conditioner, but when it is, your unit needs to be ready. If you didn't already get a spring clean for your heating system, you still have time. There are a few things you need to know to make sure your system is in tip-top shape for when the heat gets to be too much and it's time turn up the cool air.
To learn more about air conditioners and what typically causes them to stop working, we went straight to the source. For our May employee spotlight, we got to know Andy Gibson a little better and learned all about air conditioning units, what makes them break down and how we can prevent that from happening.
Andy Gibson is our production manager, which means he oversees our installation department. Andy started at Chapman is 2000 as a warehouse helper, from there he moved his way through the company to his current manager position.
With so much skill and knowledge, we're lucky to have Andy as a part of the Chapman team. When asked what his favorite thing about working at Chapman was, he had this to say:
Biggest thing is the family atmosphere. You really feel like you're working with a family from the top to the bottom of the totem pole, everyone has a role in the family. That makes it a fun place to work.
Andy's role in the Chapman family is a supportive one. He oversees installations outside of the office on a daily basis and keeps things running smoothly out in the field. Originally from Indianapolis, one of Andy's favorite thing about his work at Chapman is interacting with clients.
I get a tremendous amount of enjoyment interacting with homeowners and clients , hearing their stories. Every once in a while, you get a story that knocks you back on your heels. Every day when I come to work I want to learn something about someone.
Outside of his work at Chapman, Andy spends time with his two children. Both of his daughters have a passion for playing soccer and Andy spends a lot of his time at the soccer fields or helping out at school events. When Andy gets some time to himself he takes his motorcycle out for a ride.
While we're talking to Andy, we had to ask a few questions about air conditioners and how to keep them running normally.
The biggest thing that typically leads to an air conditioning unit failing is lack of regular maintenance. Routine maintenance really goes a long way. Not getting a yearly clean and check is a lot like buying a new car, not changing the oil for 15 years and expecting it to last 20 years.
We still have a few months before the heat really sets in, call Chapman today and schedule your spring clean and check to make sure you're ready for summer!
