In this video, Carson from Bud Anderson tells us the importance of having your outdoor unit serviced at least twice a year… once in the heating season and once in the cooling season. Regular checks of refrigerant levels, the compressor, and cleaning of the coils is key in maintaining your air conditioning unit and the skilled team at Bud Anderson is happy to assist! To schedule your service today, call Bud Anderson Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical at (479) 816-0382 or use our convenient form to schedule an appointment online.
Twice-a-year servicing catches the kind of wear that doesn’t show up as an obvious problem until it becomes an expensive one. Low refrigerant, for example, doesn’t just reduce cooling capacity; it also makes the compressor work harder and run hotter, which shortens its lifespan. Dirty coils have a similar effect, forcing the system to run longer to reach the same temperature and driving up energy use in the process.
A typical seasonal visit covers checking refrigerant charge, inspecting electrical connections and capacitors, cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, and testing the system’s overall performance against the manufacturer’s specs. Homeowners who keep up with these visits tend to see fewer mid-summer breakdowns and get more total years out of their equipment than those who only call when something stops working.
