Here in the Philippines, ber-months means the Christmas season and a cold breeze is coming. This time is the best to take advantage of the cold weather and do Preventive Maintenance (PM) on Air Conditioning (AC) units/systems that could lead to cost reduction or lower expenses on bills.

Several factors affect the energy consumption of your ACs, including non-stop usage, installation or set-up, and the efficiency of the unit/system, to name a few. However, PMs can also affect the efficiency of your AC. Therefore, it can be relative to your expenses.

Preventive maintenance can save you money by avoiding costly breakdowns caused by electrical issues and worn parts, which can cause your air conditioning to break down and leave you without cooling. Dirty coils and low refrigerant charges are also checked in PMs as this helps the removal and release of heat and humidity in the air. It can also extend the life of the AC unit. These measures help ensure that the AC unit runs efficiently.

Furthermore, as people become more aware of their surroundings, particularly those with respiratory sensitivity or issues, air quality improvement is necessary, if not essential. Your units may have filters, but they need cleaning too. PMs clean filters and air ducts to ensure that the cold air pumping through your vents is as clean and well-filtered as possible.

Besides, people are more environmentally compassionate, and in our tropical country, ACs are getting more and more popular as we experience a rise in heat temperatures. This raises concerns from people concerning their carbon footprint. Remember that units working at their best efficiently consume considerably less fuel, making them more economical and better for our environment.

With all of the potential problems that could arise with your ACs, rest assured that you have invested and taken steps to make the situation as trouble-free and cost-effective as possible, so relax and enjoy some peace of mind.
