Questions and Answers
My outside AC unit isn't cooling well, and I've noticed the coils look dirty. What should I do?
Dirty condenser coils are a common issue in Lewis Center, especially with our local pollen and debris. This buildup forces your system to work harder, reducing efficiency and increasing wear. At Prestige, we include a thorough coil cleaning as part of our standard HVAC maintenance service. We recommend scheduling a seasonal tune-up, where our technicians will clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly to restore peak performance and prevent costly breakdowns.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system in Central Ohio?
For our climate, we recommend scheduling professional maintenance twice a year: once in the spring for your cooling system and once in the fall for your heating system. This seasonal check-up allows us to catch minor issues before they become major repairs, ensures safe operation (including carbon monoxide testing for gas systems), and helps maintain energy efficiency year-round. As a local family business with over 40 years of experience, we've seen firsthand how consistent maintenance extends the life of your equipment.
My water heater is over 10 years old. Should I consider a replacement before it fails?
It's a smart time to evaluate your options. Water heaters typically last 10-15 years, and an older unit is less efficient and more prone to failure. We offer a professional assessment to check for signs of corrosion, sediment buildup, or inefficiency. If a replacement is needed, as a Ruud ProPartner dealer, we can provide high-quality, reliable options and handle the entire installation process. Proactive replacement on your schedule is often more convenient and less stressful than dealing with an unexpected leak or cold shower.
