Most AC systems in New Bedford should be serviced twice a year – once in spring before heavy use begins and once in fall after the cooling season ends. The coastal environment here is particularly hard on AC equipment because salt air accelerates corrosion and humidity puts extra strain on components. Regular maintenance catches these issues early, keeps your system running efficiently, and prevents breakdowns during peak summer months when you need cooling most. Our Comfort Club members get priority scheduling for these essential tune-ups.
First, check your thermostat settings and make sure the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If those aren’t the issue, turn off your AC system to prevent further damage and call for professional help. Don’t attempt to fix electrical or refrigerant issues yourself – these require proper tools and training to handle safely. We provide emergency AC repair services because we know how uncomfortable New Bedford homes get when cooling systems fail during summer heat waves. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get your system back up and running.
Generally, if your AC system is over 10-12 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to fix an aging system. Other signs include dramatically increased energy bills, uneven cooling throughout your home, or repair costs that exceed 50% of a new system’s value. However, newer systems with isolated problems are usually worth repairing. A professional diagnostic can tell you definitively whether repair or replacement is the smarter investment for your specific situation and budget.
Several issues can cause this problem. Dirty air filters restrict airflow and reduce cooling capacity. Low refrigerant levels prevent proper heat transfer. Blocked outdoor units can’t release heat effectively. Ductwork leaks allow cooled air to escape before reaching your rooms. In New Bedford’s humid climate, frozen evaporator coils are also common when airflow is restricted. A professional diagnostic identifies the specific cause and determines whether you need a simple filter change, refrigerant service, ductwork repair, or other solutions to restore proper cooling performance.
Comprehensive AC maintenance includes cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, testing thermostat calibration, and examining all system components for wear or damage. The technician also checks ductwork for leaks, measures airflow, and tests system performance to ensure everything operates efficiently. In coastal areas like New Bedford, special attention goes to components affected by salt air corrosion. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running at peak efficiency.
Start with regular filter changes – dirty filters make your system work harder and use more energy. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when you’re away from home. Use ceiling fans to circulate air so you feel comfortable at higher temperatures. Keep blinds closed during the hottest part of the day to reduce heat gain. Make sure your outdoor unit has proper clearance and isn’t blocked by vegetation or debris. Most importantly, keep up with professional maintenance – a well-tuned system uses significantly less energy than one that’s struggling with dirty coils or low refrigerant.
