But even if\nyou\u2019ve heard why it\u2019s important, you might not really <em>believe <\/em>it until you know exactly what happens during this service.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact of the matter is, with a climate like ours,\nmaintenance isn\u2019t just an optional service. It\u2019s absolutely necessary to the\nefficiency and efficacy of your air conditioner. Without maintenance, you can\nfind yourself paying for unexpected repair needs, plus your system may even\nhave a shower lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Do During Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When our air conditioning technicians come to your home to\ndo maintenance, they\u2019ll perform a wide range of functions that will help your\ncooling system run smoother. In addition to this, we run tests, make\nadjustments, and check refrigerant levels to make sure that the system is\noperating as it should and isn\u2019t in need of any repair services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face is, air conditioning repair can be expensive! At least, this is the case if it\u2019s a small repair that was allowed to grow into a bigger emergency due to lack of maintenance. Part of the purpose of maintenance is to <em>prevent <\/em>these emergencies. When we inspect your system, we look for small things like worn-out lubrication, loose components, etc. This allows you to get repairs on your schedule right away, and can help prevent up to 85% of the bigger repairs an AC system may ever need in its lifetime! So, what exactly do we do to ensure this is the case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Lubricate Moving Parts: <\/strong>AC systems are not just big ice boxes\u2014in fact, there is no ice involved at all. They have complex components that each require different levels of attention. Components like ball bearings and motor bearings need lubrication to prevent friction. Screws need tightening. Electrical components need checking and tightening where necessary. <\/li><li>Testing and Inspecting: It\u2019s one thing to make an adjustment to your system. It\u2019s another to make sure that adjustment holds. We\u2019ll test your system to make sure it\u2019s working adequately after we adjust parts. This is when we\u2019ll alert you to any repair needs the system might have. <\/li><li>Recharge Refrigerant: The refrigerant in your air conditioner is the component that makes the cooling process possible. Upon manufacturing, your system is supplied with enough refrigerant to ideally last its entire lifespan. If your system starts losing refrigerant, then it means there is a leak. During maintenance, we can recharge (this means refill) your refrigerant, but you\u2019ll also want to have our professionals find the source of the leak so it can be repaired and you\u2019ll be less likely to suffer from refrigerant loss in your system again. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every step we take during maintenance ensures the efficiency\nof your air conditioner. The more attention we give to your energy consumption\nand your system\u2019s cooling output levels, the more efficiently (and more\naffordably) your system can operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>For professional and reliable <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"air conditioning service near Toledo, OH (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/service-areas\/toledo-oh-heating-air-conditioning-plumbing\" target=\"_blank\">air conditioning service near Toledo, OH<\/a>, look no further than AW Heating &amp; Cooling. <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Contact us (opens in a new tab)\">Contact us<\/a> today! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if you\u2019ve heard why AC maintenance is important, you might not really believe it until you know exactly what happens during this service. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[146,99],"class_list":["post-696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-service","tag-toledo"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":700,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696\/revisions\/700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
