the Cost of Air Conditioner Maintenance

All aspects of the air conditioner and heating unit are looked into. The repairman checks the pressure,amps, temperature split, electrical, contacts, caps, and thermostat. The technician also flushes and vacuums drains, pans and washes the filters and condensor coils and checks the heater, emergency heat and cool operations. Compressor check includes suction, head, voltage, electrical connections, contacts and superheat set. The condesnor coil check includes cleaning, temperature and oil level. Refrigerant was also checked for leaks or needing charge. Fan and motor check includes voltage, electrical connections, contact, pan and belt, and lube bearings and motor. The evaporation coils were clean and temperature monitored.

The technician called right before he came, and came within the time frame given to me by the customer service representative. The quality of service was great. The technician did not hesitate to show me what he was doing, and explained the workings of the a/c unit. The compressor unit was dismantled and vacuumed, and when the technician was finished, the unit was cleaner than when he came!

I have a yearly maintenance contract with the Air Conditioning company whereas I pay $129.99 for two mainenance visits per year. The great thing about having a contract is that they send me a reminder note right before it gets hot (summer care) and right before the cold settles in (for the heating unit). I am also entitled to get 15% off any parts should my unit need it. My contract also makes it possible for me to have priority service.
