One way to vastly reduce your annual cooling bill is to move from Indian Harbour Beach too, say, Montana or Michigan, where the cooling season is considerably shorter. A better way to reduce your cooling costs is to schedule your annual A/C maintenance with India Cooling & Heating, Inc. before it’s time to crank up the cool.
The Importance of Spring A/C Maintenance
If you drove your car 175,000 miles in one summer, would you do it again the next summer without a thorough tune-up? Of course, you wouldn’t. And if you did, it would likely break down. And if it didn’t break down, it certainly wouldn’t get very good gas mileage.
The same goes for your air conditioner. Over the course of an India County cooling season, minute vibrations can loosen electrical connections and motor mount screws. Dust buildup can coat essential components and reduce overall system efficiency, and dirt and grime on the indoor and outdoor coils prevent the optimum absorption and release of heat. Lubrication dries up, Ac Repair in Varanasi belts and controls wear out, and thermostats lose accuracy. Not all at once, of course, but neglecting your air conditioner will lead to problems down the road, guaranteed.
Cooling and heating your home accounts for about half of your annual utilities. An inefficient air conditioner typically costs an additional five percent per year for each year it’s not maintained.
But a lower cooling bill isn’t the only benefit of the annual spring tune-up, although that’s the number one reason on most homeowners’ lists for scheduling routine service. Preventive maintenance has other benefits, too:

Essential DIY Maintenance
Once the technician has packed up and left the building, the tender loving care of your air conditioner is up to you. Just two simple monthly tasks will help ensure continued A/C efficiency for the duration of the cooling season.
Stock up on good quality air filters, and inspect the filter every month. When it’s coated with dust and you can no longer see the white filter material, replace it with a clean filter. A dirty filter is one of the most common culprits when it comes to air conditioner failure. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, allows dust to infiltrate the system, and reduces efficiency.
Maintain the outdoor unit monthly. Remove any plant growth from within 16 inches of the unit, and hose down the housing to flush away dirt and debris trapped in the metal fins. Use a fin comb to straighten out bent fins to ensure the optimum exchange of heat.
