Why Air Conditioning and Air Duct Annual Check Ups are Important

 Why have your air conditioning system checked annually?

 Having your air conditioning system checked annually can prevent future issues and save the homeowner time and money. Annual air-conditioning system checkups will also keep the air conditioner running properly for more years than a poorly maintenance system resulting in longevity and worry free operation. In addition, most air-conditioning system checkups consist of refrigerant charge checks, AC drain clearing, and a thorough electrical system check. Furthermore, the air-conditioning system coils are cleaned and the fins are straightened thus helping with efficiency and proper operation and airflow.

 Having your air conditioning system checked annually can reveal issues early so that the homeowner will not have to deal with them during high temperature peak months. This is important because the homeowner does not want the air conditioner broken down when the outside ambient temperature is above 100° degrees. Annual checkups will reveal a issue early and that problem can be addressed then in there without much downtime. In addition, most HVAC companies provide discounted rates when they are under an annual maintenance contract with an HVAC company. This can be very beneficial when a major repair is needed such as a leaky evaporator coil or compressor burnout which can be very expensive repairs.

 In addition, to having the air-conditioning system checked annually your air duct system should also be checked and cleaned every two – three years. The reason for this is to ensure proper airflow to all supply ducts and that there are no damaged ducts within the duct system. Having properly sealed and insulated air ducts is very important because of the heat transfer between the duct and the hot attic air. For instance, when the air is conditioned and circulated back to the AC system it must travel through the ducts and in most cases the ducts are in a non-conditioned location resulting in higher temperatures surrounding the ductwork. These higher temperatures can drop the conditioned supply air tempuratures down if the ductwork is not properly insulated and sealed resulting in higher system runtimes and higher energy bills. So having the air ducts properly sealed and insulated can and will save energy and provide with a more efficient air-conditioning system as a whole.

 The use of proper filters and air duct cleaning can prevent dirty evaporator coils and reduce allergens throughout the home. Since the indoor air is circulated on a constant basis dirt and debris is also circulated through the system, so a pleated filter should be used in conjunction with proper air duct cleaning techniques to help prevent accumulation of debris, dirt, and other pollutants.

How Much Does Professional Air Duct Cleaning Cost?



 How Do Air Duct Cleaning Companies Charge For Air Duct Cleaning?

 Air duct cleaning companies charge for air duct cleaning services by either one of two ways.
 The first is by square footage of the commercial or residential building. By knowing the square footage of the building an air duct cleaning company can determine the amount of time and labor that they should charge. So, the bigger the building or residence the more labor and time it will take the air duct cleaning company to complete the job. As a result, higher estimates will be given to bigger square footage homes and buildings than others.

 The second way an air duct cleaning company will determine the cost of air duct cleaning for a residence is by how many vents are needed to be cleaned in the home. In most cases a flat rate will be charged for the number of vents that are needed to be cleaned, if that number exceeds the flat rate number of vents then additional charges per vent will be added on top of the flat rate. Again, like the square footage method the more vents a home has the more time and labor intensive it will be to complete the air duct cleaning resulting in a higher estimate.

How To Choose the Proper Filter For My Air Conditioner or Hvac System

 What do Air-Conditioning Filters Do?

 Air-conditioning filters protect vital system components inside of your air handler. These components consist of your evaporator coil, blower motor, and heat exchanger. Without proper filtration debris, dirt,  viruses, and bacteria can be spread throughout the home. Furthermore, the lack of a proper filter will cause your indoor air quality to be poor so it is very important to have a quality filter placed within your air conditioning system.

 What are the types of filters?

  • Disposable fiberglass: ” Created from 1″-thick spun fiberglass, it does little more than prevent larger particles like dust, lint, and debris from gunking up your system. 

Pros: Very inexpensive, good for renters and those without allergies or asthma
Cons: Has little to no effect on cleaning the air
  • Pleated Filters:  pleated filters are capable of filtering up to 50% of airborne impurities. Although pleated filters are moderately priced they have the capability of lasting up to 90 days.These filters are typically made from a specially made paper or fiber that is mounted into a frame with approximate 1 inch pleats.
Pros: Can remove some small particles like spores and mites
  • Electrostatic Filters: Electrostatic filters use static electricity to filter particulates from the air. These filters contain self-charging cotton fibers that attract particles. Permanent options have  a removable, machine-washable filter that can be removed and reused for six to eight years. 

    Pros: Little waste, more effective than pleated; a good option if you use a popular size
  • Hepa Filters: Hepa filters are 99.97 % dust spot efficient by the old ASHRAE Standard 52.1.   They are for particles smaller than .30 microns( bacteria and large virus).
 Indoor Air Quality and Air Filters.

 Choosing the right filter is vital for improving indoor air quality. Using a quality pleated filter, electrostatic filter, or HEPA filter will help maintain a lower particulate parts per million in your indoor air. For individuals with allergies a disposable fiberglass filter will not be the best choice since fiberglass filters are just made to filter large particles. HEPA filters would be the best choice for people with allergies since this particular filter has the filtration capacity of .30 ยต(microns)  and 99.97% dust spot efficiency. In addition, maintaining your system and changing your filters regularly will improve your system's efficiency and indoor air quality while keeping vital system components inside your air handler clean and debris free.
