Do you invest thousands of dollars into a car with the plan to never change the oil? Probably not! Your air conditioning system is a major home investment so would you make this investment without having the plan to maintain it? You shouldn’t! Just as an oil change is pertinent to a car running well, A/C maintenance is pertinent to your air conditioner’s longevity. In case you’re contemplating the maintenance, here are several reasons you should get regular maintenance.
A/C Maintenance will cut down on repairs
Having your system serviced on a regular basis is sure to bring on fewer repairs. By having your system looked at annually, your technician is likely to see a problem when it arises and not when it has already gotten out of hand. Angie’s List experts say it’s a good idea to have your system inspected, serviced and cleaned once a year, ideally in the spring. This also helps to ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency when you need it most.
It will ensure that you maintain the warranty
Many people don’t realize that when an HVAC system is installed, the warranty requires a regular maintenance program. You will want to keep the documents you receive when you have your system serviced. When the time comes to call the warranty provider for service, you will have everything you need to show that you have maintained the system. Keeping good service records is important when your system is under warranty so that you don’t risk it being voided.
It will keep it efficient
You probably make every effort to save energy in your home and conserve on your energy bills. Having your air conditioning unit serviced on a regular basis is known to reduce energy consumption. Regular maintenance also lowers electricity bills and ensures that your unit is running as efficiently as possible. You won’t have to worry about your system working harder than it should in order to cool your home. Regular service calls will keep your system running at its most efficient levels.
You’ll have better air quality
Changing the filters in your unit regularly helps to reduce the dander, pollen and other toxins that can make your air unclean. Believe it or not, the air we breathe in our homes can be more harmful than the outside air. Having your system serviced and your filters changed on a schedule will help keep the air your family is breathing clean and safe. Keeping the air quality clean is of the utmost importance, especially during allergy season.
It will extend the life
Regular A/C maintenance will allow you to get the most from your unit. Getting this service on an annual basis will keep your system in excellent condition and help prevent problems before they even begin. It is necessary to clean the outdoor unit and remove dust, dirt, and debris. This will help your unit work longer and continue to work optimally.
