A repair session is designed to address a single specific problem or issue. Maintenance, on the other hand, is a bit of a catch-all, designed to keep the unit clean and efficient, as well as noting potential trouble spots for later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oasiscooling.com\/air-conditioning\/ac-repair\">AC repair in Springfield<\/a>. Ideally, you should plan for such a session at least once a year, and when it comes to air conditioning maintenance, Fairfax has the experts you can count on. But what issues does air conditioning address? Read on for the answers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cleaning<\/strong>. Dust and dirt are the enemy of an efficient air conditioner. They increase friction between moving parts, clogged filters and lines, and generally lead to more wear-and-tear on the system. A maintenance session is designed to clean off the dust and help your system operate more efficiently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refrigerant<\/strong>. Refrigerant makes your air conditioner function, but when leaks occur, you can lose a great deal of its cooling power, as well\u00a0 as running the risk of further harm to other components in the system. A maintenance session can recharge refrigerant levels to their prescribed amounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air filters<\/strong>. Filters become clogged over time, which reduces their efficiency and causes problems for the entire system. A technician can exchange old filters for new ones, and keep the air flowing smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bolts and fasteners<\/strong>. Individual components can sometimes rattle in their housings when their bolts are loose, using a lot of unnecessary energy in the process. Tightening those bolts as a part of a regular maintenance session will prevent a lot of wear and tear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of that comes on top of the most important part of a maintenance session: spotting big problems while they\u2019re still little ones and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oasiscooling.com\/contact\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">setting up an appointment<\/a> to treat them without the fuss and cost of waiting for a breakdown.
