How important is preventative maintenance for central air conditioning?
Studies have shown that routine cleaning and tune-ups on AC units are known to restore performance capacity, improve comfort, and lower energy costs by restoring capacity by 1/2 to 3/4 tons. Control of humidity is improved. Need of running time is reduced, therefore, energy costs are lowered. Lack of maintenance lowers capacity, extends running time, and puts a strain on the equipment, which could lead to breakdowns and expensive repairs. Demonstrations further showed that good maintenance programs showed an average savings of $32.76 per month based on 8 cents per kwh. Run time was reduced by an average of 1.70 hours per day.
