How To Save On Air Conditioning

Do you like to save money? We all do.

But if you aren’t providing regular maintenance and tune-ups to your air conditioning system you could be losing hundreds of dollars a year on your home utility bills. Over the course of the year, your AC unit accumulates dust and dirt, making it less efficient and leading to higher energy costs. F.H. Furr offers a complete 21-step precision tune-up and professional cleaning of your air conditioning or AC system that will ensure your unit is operating as efficiently as possible and not wasting money.

Your A/C Tune-Up Includes:

  1. Calibrate and level thermostat

  2. Check filters

  3. Monitor volts/amps on fan motor

  4. Lubricate and inspect bearings for wear

  5. Check indoor coil if accessible

  6. Check condensate drain

  7. Inspect condenser coil

  8. Monitor operating pressure of refrigerant

  9. Inspect safety devices for proper operation

  10. Inspect disconnect box for proper rating and installation

  11. Tighten all electrical connections

  12. Test/inspect contactors for burned, pitted contacts

  13. Inspect electrical system for exposed wiring

  14. Test and inspect capacitors

  15. Inspect fan blade

  16. Check condenser coil

  17. Inspect service valves for proper operation

  18. Measure temperature difference – supply/return

  19. Inspect accessible duct work and dampers

An inspection ensures your equipment is operating safely and is a great way to guarantee that you won’t be caught off guard with an unforeseen air conditioning breakdown this summer — when demand for air conditioner service and repair is at its peak. Preventive maintenance also saves money by maximizing efficiency and minimizing costly breakdowns.
