Or perhaps you think since your air conditioner is working \u201cjust fine\u201d this year, you can skip maintenance for once. \u00a0We really want to encourage you to go ahead and schedule that appointment, though it\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/can-i-get-an-ac-tune-up-now\/\"> never too late to get an AC tune-up<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s never too late to get your AC tuned-up, and it\u2019s never\na bad idea to do so. There are many benefits to routine, professional\nmaintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regular AC tune-up for better performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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<a href=\"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/what-are-the-steps-of-ac-maintenance\/\"> the key steps of AC maintenance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistency matters more than timing here. We do normally\nrecommend that you have AC maintenance done in the fall, before you need the\nsystem the most, but frequency is more important. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Because<br>Summer Doesn\u2019t Take A Break: <\/strong>We might have pretty cold winters, however our<br>weather gets pretty dang hot and humid in the summertime. Maintenance helps<br>make sure that your air conditioning system is always ready to tackle warmer<br>temperatures, no matter how long they last or when they strike. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skipping<br>a Tune-Up Leads to Higher Utility Bills: <\/strong>In general, each year that your AC<br>system goes without professional maintenance, it drops about 5% of its<br>efficiency, and this drop-off gets steeper over time. You\u2019ll find yourself<br>paying more for the times your air conditioner is running longer than it should<br>have to in order to try to cool your home. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid<br>Sudden AC Breakdowns:<\/strong> Perhaps the biggest reason you should stay on top of<br>your regular AC maintenance appointments is to prevent your system from<br>suddenly shutting down on you during one of the hottest days of the year. There<br>are plenty of those coming right around the corner, and you need your cooling<br>system ready to get through each of them! Maintenance plays a critical role in helping your system avoid issues like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/when-your-cooling-system-wont-cool\/\"> your AC not cooling when it should<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevent<br>Unnecessary Repair Needs:<\/strong> You shouldn\u2019t have to spend money that you would<br>otherwise use to enjoy your summer on repairs for an air conditioner that<br>shouldn\u2019t have needed them to begin with! Maintenance is precautionary, giving<br>our team the opportunity to alert you to any small adjustment or repair needs <em>before <\/em>they become an emergency repair<br>need instead. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You\u2019ll<br>Save Money:<\/strong> Cleaning your air conditioner during maintenance helps to keep<br>it working as efficiently as possible. Alerting you to repair needs now helps<br>you avoid emergency repairs later, and overall maintenance helps improve the<br>longevity of your system so you don\u2019t need a premature repair. What this all<br>means is that you won\u2019t spend more money than necessary on your air conditioner<br>usage. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is for sure\u2014if you need maintenance then you need\nan experienced team for the job. We are that team! Reach out to us for your\ntune-up and you can trust a job well done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AW Heating &amp; Cooling (opens in a new tab)\">AW Heating &amp; Cooling<\/a> to schedule your professional <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"air conditioning tune-up in Sylvania, OH (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/service-areas\/sylvania-oh-heating-air-conditioning-plumbing\" target=\"_blank\">air conditioning tune-up in Sylvania, OH<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maintenance is one of the leading ways to prep your home for summer temperatures. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[127,119],"class_list":["post-708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-tune-up","tag-sylvania"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1510,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708\/revisions\/1510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
