Unless something is wrong with your cooling system <em>right now, <\/em>like you noticed a sudden\nloss of cooling power, you may be tempted to put off maintenance, particularly\nif your air conditioner has been working \u201cjust fine.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact of the matter is, though, that just like maintenance for your car, routine AC maintenance is vital to the performance of your cooling system as well as repair prevention. An as a trusted resource in your community, our team has the responsibility to share with you why regular maintenance is so important, and when you should schedule it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Power of Professional Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve never had professional maintenance done for an air\nconditioner before, you may be wondering what exactly it does. Maintenance\nallows our technicians to come in and comprehensively clean the interior components\nof your air conditioner (or heater) to ensure that it is able to function as\nefficiently as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, we inspect your system and check for\ncomponents that need adjustment, repair, or even replacement. Overall,\nmaintenance serves to help improve the longevity and performance of your air\nconditioner, and we really cannot understate the importance of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cWhen Should I Schedule Maintenance?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, we recommend that you schedule your air\nconditioning tune-up before you need your system the most\u2014early spring. Around our\narea, you may even get away with scheduling it in late winter. But the <em>time <\/em>of year you have maintenance done\nis actually less important than how <em>frequently\n<\/em>you have it done. Maintenance should be done once a year, at least (twice a\nyear for heat pump systems). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we live in an area that really strains our air\nconditioning systems, you might even consider having your central air\nconditioner checked twice annually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve Your Comfort and Safety with Routine Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons you should keep up on your annual\nair conditioning maintenance is for your comfort and the comfort of your\nfamily. Over the years, AC systems begin performing less and less effectively\nand efficiently. Components start wearing down due to natural wear and tear,\njust like they would in your vehicle if you skipped auto maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance also helps keep you safe! Of course, air conditioning systems are not inherently dangerous, but they do have components that can be harmful, particularly if you try to do AC repairs on your own. For example, refrigerant is a chemical that makes the cooling process possible. If you have a refrigerant <em>leak, <\/em>it\u2019s harmful to not only your cooling system but anyone who comes in contact with the refrigerant. By keeping up with maintenance, you\u2019re less likely to have a problem of this caliber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth mentioning heater maintenance here, too. While\nyou\u2019re done using your heater for the season, safety is a big reason we\nrecommend routine heating maintenance each fall. This is particularly important\nif you\u2019re using a gas-powered system.
