How Can Air Conditioning Maintenance Save Money Long Term

 

Commercial air conditioning is one of the most lucrative offers for air conditioner manufacturers. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, commercial air conditioning is the idea of employing professionals for the sake of designing and maintaining your air conditioning unit. This not only involves more cost, but also reduces long term expenses unexpectedly. This is because, while it takes thousands of dollars to set up and install a working centralized air conditioner for an entire building, the air conditioner also keeps sending clients back to them for repairs and other issues.

An average customer spends as much on the repair of his air conditioner unit as he does on the installation and purchase of his air conditioner unit to begin with. Thus, it is of great importance to have a method of avoiding these added and unnecessary expenses. The first rule when it comes to avoiding long term unnecessary costs is proper servicing. Air conditioner manufacturers themselves sometimes offer service packages annually and semi annually. These packages are of great help in saving money and avoiding other difficulties. While some companies might find it unnecessary to have regular servicing, particularly for their newly installed air conditioner systems, they cannot be anymore wrong.

During a regular servicing session, the technician will be able to clean the parts of the air conditioner that require regular maintenance, like the coils and replace the filter which require frequent replacing. Due to the huge amount of air flow through the filters, they get blocked very frequently. This is the reason for high rate of changing required for these filters. The coils on the other hand, develop depositions of spurious unwanted particles and mold formations. These formations should not be vacuumed since they cause health issues in the long run for its users.

Chemical cleaning should be used to clean these coils, and only the technician would know the amount of the chemicals and the right chemicals to be used for this process. But make sure your technician uses proper chemicals certified by recognized national laboratories for this purpose. The use of low grade cheap chemicals causes other unwanted problems, like erosion, rusting etc. A properly maintained air conditioner will be able to save a lot of energy and cost from the operation of the air conditioner. Typically, a properly running air conditioner at its peak efficiency saves up to 18% on its electricity bill through the year.
