Total Heating and Air Conditioning System Maintenance: How Often Should it be Done?

As a St. Louis homeowner, you know that your total heating and air conditioning system is one of the most important components of your home. Not only does it keep you comfortable throughout the year, but it also helps to protect your home from the extreme temperature changes that can occur in our region. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your system is properly maintained. But how often does it need to be done?

Factors to Keep in Mind

AAA installed furnaceThe answer to that question depends on a number of factors, including the type of system you have, the age of your system, and how often it’s used. For example, if you have a newer, high-efficiency system, you may only need to have it serviced once a year. However, if you have an older system or one that’s used more frequently, you may need to have it serviced more often.

Another factor to consider is the type of maintenance that’s being performed. Some types of maintenance, such as changing the air filter, can be done more frequently than others. Other types of maintenance, such as cleaning the coils, may need to be done less frequently.

In general, we recommend that homeowners have their total heating and air conditioning systems serviced at least once a year per unit. This will help ensure that your system is running efficiently and effectively all year long. If you have any questions about how often your system should be serviced or what type of maintenance it needs, our team at AAA Heating & Cooling would be happy to help.

How Ductless Mini-Split AC Systems Can Keep You Cool and Save You Money

There are a few potential issues that can arise in your home if your AC is not reaching certain spots. One issue could be an increase in your energy bills, as the rest of your house is trying to compensate for the hot spot. Additionally, a hot spot in your home can cause discomfort and even health problems if it’s not addressed. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it may be time to consider a ductless air system from AAA Home Services.

Enjoy more control over the temperature of your home.

Ductless air systems, also known as mini splits, are a great way for individuals to have more control over the temperature of their home. Mini splits offer homeowners individualized control over the temperature of each room in their house.

Ductless air systems offer a great way to cool down each member of your family to their personal preference this summer. They are customizable by room, making it easy to provide everyone with their own individual cooling system. Whether Grandma likes it a little warmer, or your teens love sleeping in the cold, everyone is happy. Everyone’s comfort is prioritized without breaking the bank.

You can also avoid awkward cold or hot spots in your home by having a ductless mini split system installed. Traditional HVAC systems often have issues with delivering even heating and cooling throughout the home, leading to hot or cold spots. But because mini splits deliver conditioned air directly into the room, you can be sure that every space in your home will be evenly heated or cooled.

Easier installation than traditional duct systems.

By installing a mini split system, you can avoid the hassle and expense of having new duct work installed in your home. Installing new ducts into the walls of your home can be a huge project because of the demolition and construction required. In some cases, you may be required to vacate your home, rearrange all of your furniture, and deal with a huge mess left behind. But with a mini split system, the only installation required is to mount the outdoor unit and run the refrigerant lines between it and the indoor air handlers.

 

Increased energy efficiency means more home savings.

In addition to their more convenient and less costly installation, mini splits are energy efficient and can help you save money on your energy bills.

Ductless mini-split systems have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional ducted systems. Perhaps the most significant advantage is their superior energy efficiency; duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for air conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space.

Ductless mini-split systems are able to operate more efficiently because they do not rely on ductwork to distribute conditioned air. By avoiding the energy losses associated with ductwork, mini-split systems are able to save homeowners money on their energy bills. Additionally, since mini-splits deliver conditioned air directly into the room, every bit of hot and cool air makes it into your home, instead of being lost into wall cavities. This ensures that you get the most out of your air conditioning unit, saving you money on your energy bills.

Contact AAA today to get started.

Beat the Summer Heat with an AC Check

The summer heat is quickly approaching in St Louis, and if your AC system isn’t in peak condition, you may be in for a sweaty summer. The best way to prepare your home to beat the heat is with an Air Conditioning Maintenance Tune-up from AAA.

Our highly trained technicians will clean and check your system to make sure its running at 100% efficiency. This guarantees that you’re getting the perfect temperature in your home, and that you aren’t overpaying for it.

As the weather gets hotter, an air conditioner that isn’t properly maintained can start to break down. Neglected air conditioners that aren’t running at full efficiency end up using way more energy, hiking up your monthly bills. It’s almost always cheaper and more convenient to perform routine maintenance on your AC system than it is to wait until a problem occurs. Keeping your AC system in good condition helps extend its lifespan too.

An annual tune-up is the best way to keep your unit running smoothly and efficiently all summer long. Book your AC check today to ensure your comfort all summer long! And while you’re at it, ask about our discounted rates on HVAC services for our Service Club Members!
