Improving your HVAC System’s Efficiency

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 18, 2010 -- We all know that we can pay our auto mechanics a little now for routine service, or pay them a lot later for a major repair. The same idea holds true for your air conditioner, furnace or heat pump. If you don't service your air conditioner, furnace or heat pump regularly, you'll not only be uncomfortable, but also pay for costly repairs for your business or home HVAC system.

Tune-ups are the way to go

Furnaces require annual maintenance. A well-maintained furnace has a longer life span and saves on utility bills. Atlanta A-team heating and air will provide regular heat & air maintenance for your HVAC system.

Without regular heat & air maintenance in Atlanta, an air conditioner loses about 5% of its original efficiency for each year of operation. This means that the 12-SEER unit that you bought just a few years ago may be functioning like a 9-SEER unit today! The good news is that you can recover most of that lost efficiency with regular maintenance. Studies show that with regular tune-ups, a unit will maintain up to 95% of its original efficiency. This means that the cost of an annual tune-up is recovered very quickly in savings on your monthly electric bill and reduced repair costs. A properly serviced heating and air conditioning unit will also do a better job of dehumidifying your home as well.

A system that is only 10% low on coolant will cost about 20% more to operate! Complicated equipment like today's air conditioners benefit in many ways from annual service. Tune ups help ensure a high level of comfort and proper system operation. They

- recover much of their lost efficiency
- are less likely to suffer a major break down
- have a longer life span
- increase your comfort
- operate for less money

What does the A-Team Tune-up Include?

A tune-up includes

- cleaning the condensing unit coils with water

- checking the amp draw of the compressor
- oiling the fan motors
- checking that belts are well adjusted
- checking the system operating pressures and temperatures against the manufacturer’s specifications.

Things you can do

There are some things, in addition to yearly tune-ups, that you can do.

- Buy good filters and change them regularly.
- Keep bushes and other materials away from the outside unit of your air conditioner.
- Avoid closing supply air outlets in your house. In almost all cases, closing supply outlets is harmful to the operation of the overall system.

- Schedule routine maintenance.
