As climate changes due to global warming, many people are being forced to instal heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment in their home and work places. However, installing the equipment and maintaining it are not synonymous. It is important you know how to keep your air-conditioning and refrigeration unit working efficiently and reliably.

The main benefits of maintaining your air-conditioning equipment, says Snow Desert, a Nairobi-based company that offers HAVC preventive maintenance service, include:

Extended system life
Savings on repairs
Enhanced energy efficiency
Improved home comfort levels
Better humidity levels, and
Cleaner air.

Just as you change the oil in your car every 3 000 to 5 000 miles, Snow Desert says, your HVAC equipment needs the same attention to extend the life of the equipment and keep it running within manufacturer’s specifications.

Saying its core business “is to assist you in maintaining your equipment,” Snow Desert says “Air conditioning units need occasional preventive maintenance to keep them operating efficiently and smoothly mostly at every quarter year or three times in a year.”
