With temperatures warming up here soon, you might have come to the realization that it’s time to schedule maintenance for your air conditioner. Or perhaps you think since your air conditioner is working “just fine” this year, you can skip maintenance for once. We really want to encourage you to go ahead and schedule that appointment, though it’s never too late to get an AC tune-up.
It’s never too late to get your AC tuned-up, and it’s never a bad idea to do so. There are many benefits to routine, professional maintenance.
Regular AC tune-up for better performance
Professional air conditioning maintenance is something that every system needs to have done on a regular basis once a year. If you have a 2-in-1 heat pump system then this should be bumped up to every 6 months. For more details on how each service visit benefits your system, check out the key steps of AC maintenance.
Consistency matters more than timing here. We do normally recommend that you have AC maintenance done in the fall, before you need the system the most, but frequency is more important. Why?
- Because
Summer Doesn’t Take A Break: We might have pretty cold winters, however our
weather gets pretty dang hot and humid in the summertime. Maintenance helps
make sure that your air conditioning system is always ready to tackle warmer
temperatures, no matter how long they last or when they strike. - Skipping
a Tune-Up Leads to Higher Utility Bills: In general, each year that your AC
system goes without professional maintenance, it drops about 5% of its
efficiency, and this drop-off gets steeper over time. You’ll find yourself
paying more for the times your air conditioner is running longer than it should
have to in order to try to cool your home. - Avoid
Sudden AC Breakdowns: Perhaps the biggest reason you should stay on top of
your regular AC maintenance appointments is to prevent your system from
suddenly shutting down on you during one of the hottest days of the year. There
are plenty of those coming right around the corner, and you need your cooling
system ready to get through each of them! Maintenance plays a critical role in helping your system avoid issues like your AC not cooling when it should. - Prevent
Unnecessary Repair Needs: You shouldn’t have to spend money that you would
otherwise use to enjoy your summer on repairs for an air conditioner that
shouldn’t have needed them to begin with! Maintenance is precautionary, giving
our team the opportunity to alert you to any small adjustment or repair needs before they become an emergency repair
need instead. - You’ll
Save Money: Cleaning your air conditioner during maintenance helps to keep
it working as efficiently as possible. Alerting you to repair needs now helps
you avoid emergency repairs later, and overall maintenance helps improve the
longevity of your system so you don’t need a premature repair. What this all
means is that you won’t spend more money than necessary on your air conditioner
usage.
One thing is for sure—if you need maintenance then you need an experienced team for the job. We are that team! Reach out to us for your tune-up and you can trust a job well done.
