Find the Right AC Repairman for the Job

Did you know that there is an AC repairman you can call  whenever your air conditioning unit fails? Your AC unit may efficiently function for a long while, but even with careful and consistent maintenance, problems may occur unexpectedly. When this happens, do not hesitate to call an AC repairman, especially if you have an updated home warranty that will cover the repair expenses.

Duties of an AC Repairman

Every job is professionally handled because an AC repairman values your time, money, and unit. You can expect that when you call, they will arrive on time fully equipped with the right tools, equipment, knowledge, and expertise. The duties of an AC repairman include:

• Checking for leakages
• Checking the status of a unit to see if it is functioning well
• Changing the necessary spare parts
• Conducting an immediate maintenance check
• Repairing small damages
• Checking the backage and split type, and fixing the problem
• Reporting any damages
• Checking the major parts
• Conducting daily routine for inspections
• Installing air-con and heaters

Educational Background

Education through vocational courses is necessary to become an AC repairman. It is mostly a 2-year technician program, but it can be laddered into an associate degree course. Certification makes the repairman certified and equipped with knowledge in handling refrigerants, and how to properly dispose of  refrigerator coolants. However, some states require an AC repairman to be licensed, especially if the job is for larger institutions or industries such as factories or warehouses, public schools, hospitals, and big offices.

Skills

An AC Repairman must possess skills in the repair and maintenance of all kinds of air conditioning units, including cooling and heating systems. Aside from the basic troubleshooting, it is important that they possess the ability to detect which part of the unit is malfunctioning and what solution is best to apply. An in-depth knowledge of the parts of the units and how to change spare parts,  is a great foundation for a repairman to have. Furthermore, all these skills and knowledge will be more valuable if they have a good attitude towards work and responsibilities, good communication skills, and an excellent character.

When to Call an AC Repairman?

There are times that you need the air conditioning unit running smoothly and efficiently, especially during the summer season. But when the unit or system fails, you will likely need to call an AC repairman. Here are some of the signs that will tell something is wrong with your unit:

• Warm Air

If you feel that the air from the unit is a bit warm, your first move is to check the thermostat. If nothing has changed, you may need to call the AC repairman right away.

• Poor Airflow

Poor airflow indicates a clogged filter or broken motor. It can even be due to a more serious problem. If you are not sure, call an AC repairman instead of doing the job  yourself.

• Foul Odor

If the unit is not working properly, it will give off a foul odor. The unpleasant smell may worsen until the problem is dealt with accordingly.
