What we did
An air conditioning system that was not working right brought us to this Richmond home in July, right in the middle of cooling season. We started with a thorough inspection to see what the system needed.
As part of the visit, we cleaned the coil and the filter. Both have a direct effect on how well an air conditioner moves air and removes heat, and a dirty coil or clogged filter can make a system struggle. We then performed a leak test. After finishing the work, we confirmed the system was functioning properly, with all pressures and temperatures reading normal.
Before we left, we talked with the homeowner about maintenance plans going forward. Regular maintenance gives us a chance to clean and check the system on a schedule, rather than waiting for something to go wrong. In central Kentucky, July heat and humidity put air conditioners under steady strain, and a system that has been cleaned, checked for leaks, and confirmed to be running at normal pressures is in a much better position to handle the rest of the summer. A maintenance plan helps keep it that way from one season to the next.
