Air Conditioning Service & Maintenance

Sadly, many homeowners and business owners overlook expert maintenance of air conditioning systems until there’s a problem.

K&S strongly advises that your AC unit is regularly serviced and maintained. We recommend this is carried out at least once a year, by one of our highly trained technicians. It will help avoid unforeseen problems before they arise.

These problems can include:

Not Changing the Air Filter – air filter clogs up over time with dust, dirt, and pollen. Not only will this make your AC system less efficient, but it will degrade air quality. Poor air quality can trigger allergies or asthma attacks. You should change the air filter at least once a month.

Cleaning the Ducts and Vents – Not only will dirt, debris and other pollutants ruin your air filter, but dust will find their way into your ducts and vents as well. In an average home, over 40 pounds of dust can accumulate each year. Cleaning the vents a few times a year can easily be done by yourself, but duct cleaning is more difficult and should be handled by a professional technician from K&S.

Cleaning the Air Conditioner Condenser Coil – Like the air filter, the air conditioning condenser coil will become clogged with dirt and debris if not routinely cleaned. A clean condenser coil will ensure that your AC system is more efficient producing cooler air and less strain on the system. It is easy to bend the condenser fins when cleaning them, so you need to be careful or leave the job to a professional.

A regular air conditioning service will make your AC unit more energy-efficient, saving you money over the long term.Contact K&S Heating and Air to schedule a professional air conditioning service today.

Air Conditioning Repair

There are several red flags you should be aware of to indicate whether you need an air conditioning repair.

Unusual Noises – Your air conditioner should run fairly quietly. If you hear grinding, squealing, grating, or other loud noises, call K&S. The sooner you address these noises the better. Leaving matters too long could permanently damage your AC unit.

Pools of water – if you notice pools of water in or around your AC unit, it could be leaking coolant and is a sign it is about to fail. Consult a NATE-Certified HVAC technician from K&S immediately.

Strange Smells – When you first turn on your air conditioner there may be a musty scent emitted from the unit. This is not unusual. But should the smell continue or if it becomes overpowering then there may be mold building up in your air conditioner.

Warm Air – If your system is blowing warm air, then it may indicate a broken compressor. It could also indicate a refrigerant leak. Either way, call K&S.

Does not Start when turned on – there are hundreds of reasons why your AC unit won’t start. Our highly trained technicians use state of the art equipment that can soon localize any problem.

Air Conditioning Installation

An important air conditioning service we offer is that of air conditioning installation. Sadly, AC units will not last forever. A properly maintained air conditioner needs to be replaced between every 10 to 15 years.

We suggest upgrading to a modern AC unit as they are more efficient and use less energy. We suggest that you look at models that meet Energy Star standards. Replacing old ductwork is important too as faulty ductwork can account for contributing between 20 to 30 percent in energy losses.

Older AC systems tend only to cool the entire house. Zoning your home is a smart energy-efficient solution that targets the rooms that need cooling the most. Smart technology not only makes life much more convenient, but it also helps improve energy efficiency and they can connect via the Wi-Fi of your home or on your mobile to monitor and control the temperature settings remotely.
