Unless something is terribly wrong with your cooling\nsystem after all\u2014like, say, you noticed a sudden loss of cooling power\u2014you can\nbe very tempted to put off a tune-up, particularly if your AC has been working\n\u201cjust fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, \u201cjust fine\u201d isn\u2019t always good enough! Just\nlike maintenance for your vehicle, routine cooling system maintenance is\nessential to the system\u2019s performance, longevity, and overall efficiency. It\u2019s\nalso the best way to prevent the worst of repair needs. What does maintenance\ndo, though? Read on as we uncover some of the truths of maintenance, and please\ngive us a call when you\u2019re ready to schedule <em>your <\/em>next tune-up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspect, Clean, Adjust, Recommend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one thing our technicians do during your cooling system maintenance is that we inspect the entire system. We\u2019ll look for anything that needs cleaning, and thoroughly clean out the system of any dirt or grime buildup. We\u2019ll adjust components that have become loose over time, perhaps due to wear and tear. And we will make recommendations for repair needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting repairs on your schedule as soon as they\u2019re\nrecommended is the best way to prevent much bigger repair needs and costs later\non down the line. Maintenance is the best way to improve the longevity and\nperformance of your cooling system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cWhen Should I Schedule Maintenance?\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great question! Generally speaking, we advise that\nhomeowners schedule air conditioning maintenance before they actually need\ntheir systems the most. So, it would be early spring, or right about now, that\nwould be the typical time for this service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>time <\/em>of year,\nhowever, has less importance than the <em>frequency\n<\/em>of which you invest in this service. Maintenance tune-ups should be\ncompleted once a year. When you live somewhere as hot and humid as we do, you\nmay want to consider it even more often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a heat pump system, then this should be upped to\nevery 6 months, since the heat pump is a year-round HVAC system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve Your Comfort and Safety with Professional Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the many reasons you should keep up on your annual\nair conditioning maintenance is for your comfort and the comfort of your\nfamily. Over time, AC systems start performing less and less effectively and\nefficiency, wearing down due to natural wear and tear\u2014just like components of\nyour vehicle would!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance also keeps you safe. AC systems aren\u2019t dangerous\nof course, but they do have components that could become harmful depending on\nthe damage. For example, refrigerant is the chemical that actually makes the\ncooling process possible. If you have a refrigerant <em>leak, <\/em>it\u2019s harmful to your air conditioner and to anyone who comes\nin contact with the refrigerant. If you keep up on your maintenance\nappointments, however, you likely won\u2019t have to worry about this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>When you\u2019re ready to schedule maintenance for your AC, simply reach out to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\">DC Cheek Heating, Cooling &amp; Plumbing<\/a> for expert <a href=\"\/service-areas\/duluth-ga-air-conditioning-heating-plumbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">HVAC service in Duluth, GA<\/a>.
