Preventive Maintenance in Oahu, HI, at American Air Conditioning

PMAs are generally scheduled semi-annually to maintain peak efficiency, prevent utility overpayment, and avoid system failures through predictive maintenance that can help extend the life of your air conditioning system. Sometimes PMAs are also referred to as "planned maintenance agreements," "start and checks," or "preventative service agreements." PMAs usually consist of fall and spring scheduled sessions for American Air Conditioning to go through your entire air conditioning system, preparing it for the upcoming season in a proactive approach before system failure or before overpaying your utility company.

Your air conditioning system is most likely the single biggest use of energy in your home or place of business. In commercial applications where refrigeration is applied, huge amounts of energy are used in the building. In fact, over 1/3 of the energy used in the United States is used to cool buildings. According to the Consortium of Energy Efficiency (CEE), up to 50%, more energy can be saved with proper installation, sizing, and maintenance of commercial central air conditioning and heat pumps.

The old but true cliché "out of sight, out of mind" is often the reason for neglected maintenance guidelines for your cooling system. Air conditioning systems are usually installed where they aren't seen, such as on rooftops or mechanical rooms, making them easy to ignore. The systems are simply taken for granted until they fail. Decreased efficiency, utility overpayment, discomfort, loss of productivity, eventual premature replacement, and higher repair costs are the result.
