Here are some of the procedures we go through:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Monitor refrigerant pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Test starting capabilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Check safety controls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Clean or replace air filters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Clean and adjust blower components<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Tighten electrical connections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Measure volts\/amps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Lubricate all moving parts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Adjust thermostat calibration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Clean the condenser coil<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Clean condensate drains<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Measure temperature difference<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Apply protective coating to the outside unit<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>How You\u2019ll Benefit From Our AC Maintenance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">We\u2019ve already gone over the special membership perks of our Residential Energy Savings Agreement. But the best benefits of maintenance are the ones for your AC:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Reliable performance: <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">A well-maintained air conditioner is an air conditioner with little chance of suddenly breaking down during one of the hottest days of summer. We think the peace of mind you get from this is worth the price of maintenance alone.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fewer repairs:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Study after study has shown that maintenance fends off more than 50% of the repairs air conditioners may require during their service life. You can imagine how much you\u2019ll save when the majority of future repair problems simply vanish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Longer equipment life:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The average service life of an AC is 10\u201315 years, but that includes maintenance. Missing maintenance will cause this life expectancy to drop, possibly even in half. Thanks to maintenance you won\u2019t have to replace your AC after only 5 to 8 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower utility bills:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">An AC suffering from maintenance neglect will start to cost more to run as its energy efficiency drops. Regular maintenance keeps the cost to cool your house lower.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranty protection:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">You don\u2019t want to void the warranty on your AC, but that\u2019s what could happen if you aren\u2019t current with maintenance. Regular service means keeping this important consumer protection in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, in short \u2026 AC maintenance is great, it saves you money, keeps you cool, removes your worries, and we have an excellent program to take care of it. It\u2019s spring, so get on the schedule for your AC tune-up and inspection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Robbins Heating &amp; Air Conditioning serves Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. <\/b><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Call us today to sign up for our Residential Energy Savings Agreement<\/b><\/a><b> and schedule your spring AC tune-up.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have professional maintenance from our technicians, you\u2019ll have an AC in the best condition for the heat\u2014and to save you money in several ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[92,89],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1537"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1537"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1540,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1537\/revisions\/1540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
