Get Your Air Conditioning Ready for Summer: Why You Should Schedule a Pre-Season Check-Up
As the South Coast of Spain finally shakes off the chilly, rainy weather, we’re heading into a scorching summer season. With the heat fast approaching, now is the perfect time to ensure that your air conditioning units are ready to switch from heating mode to cooling mode. At Envirocare, with over 30 years of experience in selling, installing, and servicing air conditioning systems, we understand the importance of pre-season maintenance. In this blog, we’ll explain why it’s crucial to have your air conditioning checked before the intense summer heat (and busy rental season) kicks in, especially when making the transition from heating to cooling.
Why Air Conditioning Maintenance is Essential: Transitioning from Heating to Cooling
Many air conditioning units are used to heat homes during the colder months, but when the weather warms up, they need to perform the opposite task: cooling the air. This transition from heating to cooling can put stress on your unit if it’s not properly maintained. After several months of running in heating mode, your system could be less efficient or have developed issues that could affect its cooling performance.
Whether you’re using your air conditioning at home or renting out your property to tourists, this changeover is crucial. Air conditioning systems that have been “overworked” in heating mode may struggle to perform well when switched to cooling mode. Regular maintenance ensures that your system will perform efficiently and cool your space as expected when summer arrives.
Timing is Key: Before the Summer Rush
The transition between the heating and cooling seasons is the perfect time to have your air conditioning checked. Why? Because this is when the system has been running in heating mode for months, and you’re not yet under the pressure of intense summer heat. Waiting until the weather turns sweltering can mean long delays for repairs, and during peak summer months, repair services are in high demand.
Additionally, if you manage vacation rentals, you’ll want your air conditioning in top shape before welcoming guests. It’s common for guests to leave air conditioners running constantly, which can put unnecessary strain on the system. This “overuse” can result in higher energy costs and, in some cases, system breakdowns. Regular inspections help prevent these problems and ensure that your AC is ready to handle the cooling demands of summer.
What’s Involved in an AC Check-Up?
A proper air conditioning check-up involves several critical steps to ensure everything is running as it should:
- Inspection of Filters and Coils: Dust and debris can clog filters and coils, reducing efficiency. Cleaning them will improve airflow and cooling performance, especially important when switching to cooling mode.
- Refrigerant Level Check: Low refrigerant can make your system less effective and more costly to run. During a check-up, the technician will measure and refill refrigerant if necessary to ensure your system cools your home efficiently.
- Airflow Optimization: If the airflow is restricted, your AC will work harder to cool the space. Technicians will check for blockages and ensure everything is functioning properly, optimizing cooling performance.
- Drainage Check: AC units generate water during cooling. If the drainage system is clogged, it could lead to water damage and system failure, especially when the system is switched to cooling mode.
- Electrical Components Check: Inspecting the wiring and components for signs of wear or malfunction will help prevent unexpected breakdowns, particularly as the system transitions between heating and cooling modes.
