Have you ever wondered about the leading causes of AC failure and breakdowns? Most, if not all, AC contractors agree that “A leading cause of AC failure is a lack of AC maintenance”.
There’s nothing like walking into your cool home after being out and about in the middle of summer. Your AC is more than a modern luxury; it’s an essential part of keeping your home comfortable. As your AC chugs along, have you thought about scheduling an annual maintenance service? Or are you wondering if annual maintenance is even worth it?
From one homeowner to another, we don’t want you left without your AC when you need it most. A 90° indoor temp is, frankly, unbearable. So, we’re proposing that you should have your air conditioner checked at least once a year.
Here are five reasons why you’ll benefit from annual maintenance:
Reason #1: AC Maintenance Can Prevent Sudden Breakdowns
Having your AC tuned up can help you prevent dreaded breakdowns. During a tune-up and maintenance service, your AC contractor essentially performs a “vitals” check on your AC. Having your AC serviced can help you and your contractor identify problems before they become worse.
Reason #2: AC Maintenance Can Prevent Expensive Repairs
In our experience, sudden breakdowns are a result of a major component going out, like the compressor. Repairs of this caliber are usually expensive, leaving some homeowners considering a full-on AC replacement rather than paying for the repair. Investing in yearly AC tune-ups and maintenance can help you prevent such repairs.
Reason #3: AC Maintenance Extends the Lifespan of Your AC
Your air conditioner should last about 10-15 years, sometimes longer if it’s well-maintained. Neglecting annual tune-up and maintenance services can reduce the lifespan of your AC. Essentially, you may need to replace your AC much sooner than you’d like. So annual maintenance can help prevent thousands of dollars in premature AC replacement costs.
Reason #4: AC Maintenance Can Improve Energy Efficiency
We use our ACs daily, so there is no denying that electric bills are higher throughout the summer. But there is a fine line between normal energy costs and higher-than-normal costs. Regular air conditioner maintenance can help identify problems that result in your AC working harder than it needs to, thus driving up your energy bills.
Reason #5: AC Maintenance Gives You Peace of Mind
Summer is a great time of year. School is out and you might have a vacation or two planned. Summer can be more enjoyable without worrying about your AC. Having your AC serviced each year can help you have peace of mind all summer.
