I need to replace my AC unit. I built the home 15 years ago and I still have the same unit. The unit stopped working in September. I have a 2-story, 2100 sq ft. home and of course I want a good unit for an affordable price.

Air conditioning maintenance cannot only increase the efficiency of your unit, but also avoid the need for AC repairs, and increase the life span of your unit. It is estimated that in the absence of air conditioner maintenance, your AC will lose up to 5% of its cooling capacity each year. With regular central air conditioner maintenance however, you can keep your unit functioning at its original efficiency for years on. Lack of maintenance can drag down the efficiency of your system, leading to massive power bills. In fact, maintaining your AC is considered an important part of increasing the life span of your unit. As your filters get clogged and the heat absorbing capacity of your evaporator coil is impacted, you can expect the life span of your unit to reduce each year.
Air conditioning maintenance consists of a few preventive HVAC maintenance tips that can be performed at home. First of all, clean your air filters regularly or get them replaced. Air filters can quickly get blocked with dust particles, especially during the dry season, and this obstructs the air flow. It can also affect the evaporator coil. If your air conditioner has a reusable filter, simple cleaning will do, otherwise, it will need to be replaced. Air conditioning maintenance technicians recommend that you replace the filters at least every month. If your air conditioner is used heavily, or if it is dry and dusty season, the filters may need cleaning more often. Keep the outdoor condenser coil clean by removing leaves and other debris from the area. If there is any foliage at the back, get it trimmed to enable proper air flow. Your evaporator and condenser coil fins can be cleaned using a fin comb. Other central air conditioner maintenance includes making your ducts airtight. Your AC maintenance technician can seal your ducts, and can also insulate the ductwork, especially in areas like attics.
