If you’ve ever wondered if an air conditioner tune-up is really worth it, you’re not alone. Some homeowners want to spend the least amount of money possible when it comes to their air conditioner and don’t realize how many benefits there are to AC tune-ups. In fact, getting AC maintenance done every year will actually save money in the long run!
Another common question we get is, does AC maintenance have to be done every year? Well, it does if you really want to maximize the many benefits that tune-ups provide. Let’s dig deeper into the benefits of maintenance so you’ll enthusiastically schedule those AC tune-ups every year without any lingering doubts.
While homeowners in other parts of the country would consider our current weather chilly, around here we know it’s just a matter of time before we need our cooling systems to work full force. When that time comes, are you ready?
What exactly do we mean by a “summer-ready air conditioner,” anyway? Well, we mean an air conditioner that has been properly maintained. Sure, there are some basic maintenance tasks you can do on your own. This includes changing or cleaning the air filter in your air conditioner every 1-3 months during periods of use. It also includes making sure your vents and outdoor unit are unobstructed to allow for proper airflow.
Soon enough, you can expect to start using your air conditioner all the time. The heat and humidity will not be tolerable for very long unless you are relaxing at the lake with a cold beverage in hand—or spending time indoors with the air conditioner. If your AC system breaks down on a hot day, you’re in trouble.
