Air conditioner maintenance tips, make your AC last longer

Air conditioning and heating systems are very important for our
comfort and they are also expensive to repair or replace. With the
right maintenance, you can make you’re AC last longer and avoid some
of the most common problems that lead to needing to make repairs.

If it seems like you’re AC just isn’t blowing as cold as it used to,
check the filter!

You should be changing or cleaning your AC filter monthly. A clogged
filter means poor performance and higher energy costs. When the filter
gets clogged, the condenser cannot “breathe” which causes it to
freeze. If this happens, it may be too late, change your filter and
try turning the unit off for a few hours to allow any ice to thaw and
then turning it back on again. A great tip is to clean the filter each
month when your electric bill comes!
Still not blowing cold? Low freon pressure could also be the problem.
Freon can slowly escape from the outside AC unit over time, that is
why it is so important to service the unit annually, especially in
Florida where no A/C is not a great option!

If it breaks, should I repair or replace my AC system?

If your AC does break down, whether or not you choose to repair it or
replace the system depends on how old your equipment is, the cost and
nature of the repairs needed, applicable warranties and your personal
budget.

At Kobie Complete, we recommend that if your air conditioner is more
than six years old, you may want to seriously consider replacement.
Once a system is older than six years or so, repairs become very
costly. Also, technology has greatly improved in the performance and
cost of air conditioning and heating units in the last few years.

Upgrading to a new system can save you a lot of money on your monthly
energy bills and can be made more affordable with the many rebate
programs for retrofitting older AC systems that are being offered
this year. Financing is also an option for some as are grants for some
low income qualifying individuals that are usually offered at the
county level.

FPL Rebates

Did you know that FPL will “pay” you for updating your heating and
cooling systems? FPL offers several different rebate programs which
can be paired with federal tax credits and other energy-saving
programs to save you a ton of money!

Heating and Cooling Systems Rebate from FPL

Check out http://www.fpl.com/residential/energy_saving/buying_guide/ac.shtml
and click on the “A/C Buying Rebate” link to calculate your annual
savings and your cooling and heat pump rebate amounts.

For example, according to the FLP rebate calculator a 3.5 ton A/C unit
with a SEER grade of 20 would save $380 a year in heating and cooling
costs and would have a FPL straight cool rebate of $1330 and an FPL
heat pump rebate of $1330. That is $3040 in savings and rebates from
FPL alone, combine that with the 2011 Federal Tax Credit and a
manufacturer’s rebate and save even more!
