If your air conditioner is aging, you’re probably not looking forward to the hot and humid summer days ahead.
Having spent a lot of money on repairs last summer, you may be wondering what you can do to prevent breakdowns this summer.
A simple and relatively inexpensive way to prevent many repair issues is to have AC preventative maintenance done before you start up your system in the spring. In addition to keeping your air conditioner running efficiently, regular AC preventative maintenance can also help you save money on your energy bills by preventing it from malfunctioning. It may seem like a good idea, but is it really worth the money? How can those service technicians really prevent breakdowns without being able to see into the future? Let’s think about this in another way: if you own a car that has been sitting in your garage unused all winter, would you feel comfortable taking the car on a long road trip without having it checked out first? There is a good chance that you would end up with a breakdown and a lot of headaches if you did. You are taking the same risk by abruptly starting up your air conditioning system on the first warm day, without any AC preventative maintenance done on your air conditioning system beforehand. With AC preventative maintenance, you will be able to keep your equipment ready for the hot days ahead, not only for your comfort and peace of mind, but also to ensure the reliability and longevity of your system for many years to come. An experienced AC service technician can prevent a number of problems from occurring with a thorough inspection and preventative maintenance of your AC system. There is nothing like a service call in the spring to save you from experiencing those dreaded breakdowns of the season on the hottest days of the year.
