If you’re purchasing a new air conditioning system for your home, there are many things you need to know to ensure its proper installation. Improper installation of an AC unit can lead to serious and expensive problems. For instance, a unit that’s too large will suck up more energy than is needed to cool your New Orleans, LA, house. That will lead to expensive–unnecessarily expensive–energy bills. You could wind up paying hundreds more than you should have to each year for cooling costs. On the other hand, an AC unit that’s too small will be overtaxed. The unit will have to work extra hard all the time in order to cool your home. That will lead to costly system breakdowns. It can also reduce the longevity of your system.
The size of the unit is just one consideration when it comes to new air conditioner installation. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when it comes to the AC installation process.

How Does the Unit Work?

We’re happy to discuss how to operate your new unit so that you use it properly. Although many central air conditioning systems work much like others, there are often some differences that customers should know about. You can count on our technicians to help you understand how your unit works.
Maintenance Requirements
All AC units will need routine maintenance after installation. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to all sorts of problems, including breakdowns and reduced AC system longevity. Typically, an annual inspection and tune up is all you need to safely maintain your air conditioning system. Maintenance involves filter changes, lubrication of moving parts, checks on fluids, and so forth. Our technicians will discuss why you should never forgo your annual maintenance checks.
Most people schedule their AC maintenance right before the summer season. If you tend to turn on your unit in spring, contact bluefrog Home Services of New Orleans early in spring for a complete inspection and AC system tune up. We’ll run the system and make sure that it’s in optimum functioning condition.
As your AC system ages, parts will begin to wear. That’s inevitable. During inspections, our techs will check for worn parts and replace them before they can cause a breakdown and system damage. Even new systems should be maintained. With routine AC maintenance, you can make sure that your unit works properly and does not require premature replacement.
