When the high temperatures of summer start, the last thing you and your Austin tenants desire is to be faced with an air conditioner breakdown. The issue is that A/C units oftentimes stop working during the most blazing hot times of the year, making not only a miserable predicament for your residents but a fair amount of hardship for property owners too.
Managing to get an air conditioning unit serviced during the summer period can be an extended and tedious undertaking. Technicians are often overwhelmed with service calls, which means a long, sweaty wait for many. Besides, they may ask more in payment for their maintenance and repair services during crucial moments, leading to a charge out of the blue. Renters will be dissatisfied every time a technician can’t pay a visit with all possible haste. This will markedly escalate the likelihood they’ll set out to hunt for some other rental home.
An air conditioner that is properly maintained is far less likely to break down, and spring is the best time of the year to have your air conditioner inspected and serviced. Frequent upkeep on the air conditioning units in your rental properties is a critical component in making sure each works properly again and again. A good A/C unit should last 10 to 15 years, a number that can often go up with proper maintenance. An A/C unit kept in good condition is more adept and produces higher quality air quality as opposed to one that is not, both of which are critical to the long-term potential of your rental property’s HVAC system.
Accordingly, servicing and maintenance have to happen in advance of the high summer temperatures and the rush of service calls. By having your A/C unit cleaned, tested, and tuned up each spring. You can avoid those emergency calls and lengthy, expensive repairs. It’s conceivable to do some manageable maintenance on air conditioning units yourself supposing that you have the occasion and expertise. For example, the condenser coils can be cleaned with a garden hose, and filters should be checked and replaced at least once per quarter, and the ducts vacuumed out regularly. Practically all other maintenance items should be rightly left to an expert, which includes replacing the refrigerant.
