WHY
SERVICE & MAINTAIN
YOUR AC?

WHY SERVICE & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR AC IS BENEFICIAL...

AND THE IMPACT OF NOT SERVICING & MAINTAINING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

During summer, the weather can get unbearably hot and we are relying more and more on air conditioning in the UK. As a result, Air Conditioning units can be found more readily in offices, shopping and retail outlets, hotels, leisure facilities and in homes. A functioning and cooling unit is essential to keep us all comfortable, whether during the day or night.

Air conditioning maintenance and servicing, however, is often neglected by most households, which is essential in keeping your AC units in good condition. By not keeping up with regular maintenance and professionally carried out servicing, units could end up requiring major repair. Air conditioning units are the same as most appliances, experiencing every day wear-and-tear, hence why regular maintenance is important to keep them running efficiently. By engaging a professional air conditioning servicing company, you can keep your units well-maintained and save money in the long-term.

COSTS OF RUNNING YOUR AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

Contamination of the condenser and evaporator coils can increase your system's energy consumption by as much as 36%.

Dirt buildup on the air conditioning coils will reduce your system efficiency. This will mean:

  • More expensive energy bills

  • Poor System performance

  • Short component life

7 REASONS TO INVEST IN ROUTINE AC SERVICING 

01

STAY COOL

This kind of sounds obvious doesn't it?  Regular air conditioner servicing is important not only to keep the air you are circulating clean but cool too. If your unit malfunctions, not only will it potentially result in expensive repair/replacement costs (more on that below!) but it can stop the cooling elements from working altogether.

02

CLEANER AIR - STAY HEALTHY

Do you want fresh, clean air circulating in your home and office? It is important that you and your family/employees stay healthy. If your air-conditioner is clogged with bacteria, dirt and dust, it can lead to various health issues, especially if anyone experiences any existing conditions such as asthma or allergies. By having your air conditioning unit serviced regularly, you can significantly reduce dirt, dust and bacteria from accumulating in your unit and subsequently, ensure those around you are constantly breathing in clean air.

03

REDUCE MAJOR BREAKDOWNS & EXTEND LIFESPAN

It is crucial to get your air conditioning units serviced regularly to prevent major breakdowns. Qualified service technicians, such as those at London AC Technical Services, will check all the parts within your unit and ensure they are clean and working efficiently. This this will not only ensure that your units are running at their optimum performance level, but will also extend the lifespan of the units in the long run. Regular servicing can extend the lifetime of your unit, in some cases as much as 10 years! A short time scheduled for routine service and maintenance, especially in a busy office, is also far more beneficial and economical than the inconvenience of an entire system replace.

04

SAVE COSTS LONG-TERM

If you think that air conditioning servicing is expensive, your electricity and repair bills may be even higher in the long run. It has been proven that an air conditioning unit without regular maintenance can cost you more in higher electricity bills, as well as high repair bills if there are major repair required due to poor maintenance. Small issues that you may not even be aware of, can eventually lead to major issues that lead to breakdown or the unit malfunctioning. With malfunctioning air conditioning units and reduced cooling efficiency, you can expect your electricity bills to increase substantially. What's more, if the unit needs to be replaced altogether due to irreparable damage, a full unit replacement can be extremely costly.

05

SAVE THE EARTH

When your air conditioning unit faces problems such as refrigerant leakage, it will release HFCs, or man-made greenhouse gases - harmful for the environment and promoting global warming. in most cases, people are not aware they are facing refrigerant leakage without regular air conditioning servicing. Qualified Air Conditioning Technicians at London AC Technical Services can even help to recycle such gases from your machine.

06

ELIMINATE BAD ODOURS

Sometimes your air conditioning unit can emit a foul odour in your home or office. This is often due to mould, bacteria and dirt accumulating in your unit. If you ever smell any unpleasant odour coming out from your units, you should immediately engage a service company to check the condition of your units and get rid of the smell. Regular maintenance will eliminate the need for a call out and keep your surroundings smelling fresh!

07

COMPLIANCE WITH MANUFACTURER WARRANTY

Different manufacturers have different warranty conditions. However, most require users to comply with regular air conditioning servicing to maintain the unit in good working condition. Thus, if you want to prevent yourself from voiding the warranty, it is best to check any conditions stated within your warranty and get your unit serviced regularly. Some manufacturers offer up to 10 years of warranty so don't miss out on this opportunity.
