Don’t neglect your El Paso heating and cooling units! Here at El Paso Mechanical Technologies, we can help your equipment meet and exceed their average life spans. The maintenance we perform on your equipment now could also lower your bills this coming summer and next winter, especially if you’ve noticed a gradual increase over the years.
As they age, these systems tend to require more effort to function properly, thus increasing the amount you pay for the same amount of heating and cooling.
Air conditioners and heaters won’t last forever, regardless of what you do. The average lifespan is around 12 years, or as long as 20 in some cases, and since they can’t technically fail when they’re switched off, their failure is guaranteed to occur when you actually need them. Nothing can replace maintenance performed by heating and cooling professionals, but here are a few things to keep in mind if you are having some trouble with your units.
First and foremost, if you smell any sort of gas around your heating unit, collect your family members or staff, leave the area and call your gas company immediately.
If your unit constantly turns on and off, call El Paso Mechanical Technologies to check it out. It might be as simple as cleaning the condenser, evaporator unit.
If your unit isn’t cooling your house enough, you should clear plants or anything near the condenser, to allow for better air flow. Try putting a shade over it; the heat of the sun might be forcing it to work harder. Our technicians might replace some worn out insulation on your refrigerant line.
If your air conditioner won’t turn on at all, check the circuit breaker first! You might just have a tripped fuse.
To ensure your heating and cooling units work when you need them to, give us a call at (915) 544-1550. We cannot overstate the importance of having licensed professionals like those at El Paso Mechanical Technologies conduct preventative maintenance on your heating and cooling units on a yearly basis.
