INTEGRITY AC DALLAS AC TUNE-UP
DALLAS SPRING IS HERE – TEXAS WINDS ARE BACK!
And before you know it, North Texas temperatures will be reaching the upper 80’s – and beyond. NOW is the time to schedule an A/C Tune-Up.
Why A/C Tune-Up and Maintenance?
Save time and money with more efficient air conditioning system and no downtime.
An analysis of 2,400 service calls revealed that up to 65% of A/C repairs could have been avoided with regular maintenance.
A/C Tune Ups Maintain Indoor Air Quality: Minimize Allergies
An important reason for a/c tune ups: inspecting and keeping the evaporator coils clean and dirt-free. Regular a/c maintenance help prevent debris build-up in evaporator coils.
A major advantage of air conditioning in North Texas is removal of humidity from indoor air. When the a/c runs, the indoor evaporator coils are constantly damp with condensation. As a result of the moisture, dirt builds up on evaporator coils.
Indoor Air Quality Issues – Allergens
Airborne allergens find a perfect breeding ground in wet coils. Debris build-up inside evaporator coils can eventually obstruct airflow through the coil.
This will cause major problems within the central a/c system. Ignoring regular maintenance means a steady decline in air conditioner performance – while energy costs steadily increase.
But even worse, constantly wet evaporator coils often develop dirt and debris build-up. Evaporator coils with allergens will cause distribution throughout the house. Re-circulated allergens create enormous problems with indoor air quality.
Many homeowners are shocked to find their evaporator coils are covered with dirt! All cooled air in the a/c system passes over the evaporator coils before being circulated into the home.
If the evaporator coils have allergen build-up – you are breathing the allergens. Debris and dirt build-up can worsen or cause allergies; and can increase asthma attacks in sensitive individuals. Studies have shown that even in healthy individuals – indoor air quality issues can cause significant health problems. Most health experts agree that spending time in environments with airborne allergens can contribute to respiratory illnesses; including allergy, asthma, cough, runny nose, and sinus conditions.
Outdoor Condenser Coils
Outdoor condenser coils can become very dirty if the outdoor environment is dusty; or if there are nearby shrubs. Outdoor coils should be cleaned and inspected regularly. It is recommended to plant foliage at least 2 feet away from the outdoor unit. Make certain to keep cut grass and yard clippings away from the outdoor condenser unit.
