Why Maintenance Matters
Once you own an air conditioning unit, you might encounter terms like “service contract” and “deep clean.” These aren’t just additional expenses—they’re crucial for protecting your equipment and extending its lifespan. At Phoenix ACR, we offer comprehensive aftercare services and encourage all our customers to sign up for a maintenance contract to ensure their units are in the best hands.
Routine Service Details
A standard routine service should be performed every six months and takes about 20 minutes per unit. This isn’t just about cleaning air filters; it involves a series of essential checks and cleanings. We clean the indoor and outdoor air filters, heat exchanger, fascia, and condensate pipe. We also check modes of operation, fan bearings, electrical insulation, pipe supports, fan motors, compressor oil levels, and casings for corrosion. Additionally, we record operating data and conduct leak tests on connections and coils.
Regular servicing ensures your unit operates efficiently, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns and costly repairs. With a Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Contract, you get reminders for service visits, a 15% discount on standard service prices, and further discounts on callouts and parts.
Deep Cleaning Explained
Deep cleaning is different from routine servicing. It involves disassembling the entire unit and cleaning each part individually with specialist chemicals. This process, which takes 2-3 hours per system, is necessary because routine maintenance can’t remove all the dirt and grime that accumulates over time.
Benefits of Deep Cleaning
- Lower Energy Bills: A clean unit operates more efficiently, reaching the desired temperature quicker and saving you money on electricity.
- Improved Air Quality: Deep cleaning reduces allergens, bacteria, and viruses, including COVID-19, ensuring the best possible air quality. It also helps prevent mould and related illnesses, especially in urban areas with lower air quality.
Maintaining Your Warranty
Regular preventive maintenance is essential for keeping your extended supplier warranty valid. Neglecting maintenance can lead to warranty claims being denied. With a PPM contract from Phoenix ACR, you can rest easy knowing your system is well-maintained and your warranty is protected.
