What else is part of a service tune up

AC Breeze Cooling and Heating is up to the challenge of taking care of SW Florida by keeping you informed about what is involved in keeping up with your indoor air quality.  Yesterday we talked about changing the filter and also cleaning the coils on your ac system.  Today I wanted to talk about oiling the motors and checking all the wiring and screws for tightness.

As the motors run so much they heat up and with the hot weather combined they can dry out pretty fast and can seize over time.  That is a quick way of needed emergency service at probably the most inconvenient time (remember things always break at the wrong time).  Keeping the bearings and shaft with fresh oil (changing the oil if not sealed)  and oiling the fan and condenser fan motor will save it from happening (preventive).  If the motor the goes bad is the Compressor Motor, you are looking at some major repair money. 

Checking the wiring for tightness will stop an arc from frying some of the electrical devices like the contactor or capacitor.  With the equipment rattling with normal operation will cause the screws and the like to loosen.  A simple tightening of these items on a regular basis is another great preventive measure to take.

Tomorrow we will address more items that are covered in a service tune up by AC Breeze Cooling and Heating.  Check us out on the web at http://www.acbreeze.net or call us at 239-303-1318
