Air Conditioning Maintenance Near Rifle, CO

A/C maintenance involves regular checking of components within the system to ensure they are functioning properly and efficiently. This includes inspecting the air filters, condenser, evaporator coils and tubing for blockages, leaks or signs of wear. It also entails checking the amount of refrigerant in the system. 

Air filter changes are a simple yet important task for any homeowner. Depending on the type of air filter in use, it is recommended to change them every 30 to 60 days. Additionally, for those living in areas with a lot of air pollution or if there are pets in the home, it is recommended to change the air filter more often. 

If you suspect a refrigerant leak in your A/C, the best way to detect it is to use a UV light and dye. Start by closing the A/C and turning off its power source. Afterwards, mix a small amount of dye with the system’s refrigerant charge, and then turn the system back on. Once switched on, use an UV light to scan for the dye which may indicate a leak in your A/C. If you find any, immediately turn off the system and contact a professional for further inspection. Be aware that refrigerant is hazardous to your health.
