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.

Air conditioners work hard to keep your home cool and comfortable as the temperature outside warms up. This hard work can really take a toll on your unit and results in wear and tear on the unit. Most issues can be identified with a yearly spring clean and check, but what happens when the unit is a little too far gone? How do you know when it’s more cost efficient to buy new than it would be to repair? Here are some tips to help you decide whether to replace or repair.
Cost Difference
The first thing you should consider is the cost of the repair. If the cost difference is small, it’s time to look for newer, more efficient units that will save you money in energy costs in the long run.
Age of the unit
This decision is a fairly easy one if the unit is old, inefficient and expensive to repair, but if the unit is new this becomes a more difficult decision. Weighing your options, consider how long you have had the unit, the cost of the repair and the amount of value you have gotten from the unit and the projected value you still have left to gain.
Faulty Systems
If your unit has been causing headaches from the beginning, it is time to replace. Costly repair after repair won’t lead to anything but frustration and wasted money. Your best option in this situation is scraping your faulty unit and investing in a reliable, efficient system that comes with a scheduled maintenance clean and check to make sure all systems are a go.
Energy Star Efficiency
If you do decide to purchase a new unit, consider its energy star rating and make sure the unit will be a reliable one. For any questions about your AC repair, give Chapman a call and schedule a few quote for air conditioner issues.
Keep an eye on the costs typical for running your HVAC unit. Factor in repairs, energy bills and age of the unit to decide if it is time to upgrade. Ultimately, your unit should be making your home comfortable, if some rooms in the home are too hot or too cold, that is an obvious sign your unit is not working properly and needs some attention.
