As winter reluctantly leaves us and spring moves forward, it's time to consider air conditioner maintenance. Our air conditioners have been sitting idle, enduring the assaults of winter weather and the wear and tear of last season's use, not to mention the mice that have eaten the protective covering on the wires of your outdoor equipment. This all wreaks havock at the worst times.

The assaults of major snowstorms and arctic blasts have made our air conditioners the last things on our minds. In only a few weeks, if they are not working properly, they will be the first things on our minds.

While we're between seasons, this is a prime time for New England homeowners to schedule air conditioner maintenance. Our technicians can make sure that start up time doesn't turn into frustration time. A good check up of air conditioner components now can stop a major breakdown later. Our specialists can perform maintenance that will include the following;

- **Check the cycling**--This makes sure your unit starts, operates and turns off as it should.
- **Lubricate moving parts**[](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/DOCUME~1/Laura/LOCALS~1/Temp/Temporary%20Directory%202%20for%20Round2.zip/Round2/write-content.aspx?pcidd=fdc0b23f-c13c-483b-9e7c-b2f3c6eba0d6&pcid=3109 "Bold")--Any moving parts can get hot causing friction damage. Lubrication keeps them moving properly and prevents damage.
- **Check drain line**--Your drain line can become clogged over the winter. Proper flow is essential to preventing damaging condensation backups.
- **Clean condenser coils**--Dirty condenser coils can cause your unit to work harder than it should, costing you higher energy bills. Cleaning the condenser also lengthens the life of your unit.
- **Check electrical components**--Some contacts and relays or other components may show wear and need replacing. Other connections may be loose and need tightening.
- **Check for proper airflow**--If blower components do not work properly, it can reduce your system efficiency by up to 15 percent.
- **Thermostat calibration**--Your thermostat should operate properly to both keep you cool and save energy.

These are some of the actions performed by our [air conditioning specialists](http://www.rodenhiser.com/). A proper air conditioner maintenance program will check these and other components to make sure your equipment functions at peak efficiency.

Don't get surprised by an expensive repair this season. Set up an appointment for your air conditioner maintenance before the heat of late spring and summer begins. Contact us at [Rodenhiser](http://www.rodenhiser.com/) and make a small investment to prevent a costly problem. We're ready to prepare you for summer.
