Nova Quality... Trust Your Home to The Experts.

The compressor units of most air conditioners have an average lifetime of only 10 to 12 years. By carefully following proper maintenance procedures, a quality model may hold up twenty years, but don’t expect the kind of lifetime you get with boilers and furnaces.

1. Reduce excessive use

2. Increase your comfort range by using fans.
Each degree you are able to raise the thermostat, you will save 3–5% on air conditioning costs.

3. Clean the air filters on room air conditioners monthly.
The condenser should be cleaned by a professional every other year, or even yearly in dusty locations.

4. Hire NOVA HEATING & AIR to inspect, clean, and tune your system every 2-3 years.

• During service of your unit, its refrigerant may need recharging. This correction can improve system efficiency by 20%.
• The technician should measure airflow over the indoor coil. Correcting airflow rates can improve efficiency another 5–10%.
• Regardless of how well tuned it is, the system will not operate efficiently if the duct system is in poor condition. Proper sealing and insulation can reduce cooling energy use by 10–15%.
