Summer is right around the corner, and for many people, that means fun in the sun. Whether you’re looking forward to spending the day poolside or hanging out with friends and family on the patio, it’s also nice to know that you can return to a nice, air-conditioned home when Mother Nature cranks up the heat. That’s why it’s important to make sure your home’s air conditioning system is working properly now so that once the heat is on, it’ll be ready to keep your home cool.
The best way you can ensure that your home’s AC system is ready for the warmer temperatures ahead is by getting it the maintenance it needs. In this article, we’ll talk about some of the benefits of seasonal air conditioning maintenance, and how Boelcke can help. Keep reading to learn more!
5 Reasons to Get Annual AC Maintenance
Many people aren’t sure if getting air conditioning maintenance from a qualified professional is a necessity. They may wonder if it provides any real benefits to their AC system, or they may think their air conditioner has been working just fine. However, there are many real benefits to getting your AC system maintained on a regular basis, including:
- Better Efficiency: Over time and through use, air conditioning systems can become dirty. And, that dust and dirt buildup can force the system to work harder than necessary. By choosing an annual AC cleaning and tune-up, your system will be clean, well-oiled, and ready to work efficiently to keep you and your family cool.
- More Effective Cooling: Again, once dirt, dust, and gunk build up in your air conditioner, it must work harder to keep your home cool. A neglected system simply will not keep your home as cool as it could, had it been properly maintained.
- Longer Life: A well-maintained AC system is likely to last longer than one that has been neglected. Think about your air conditioning system like your car – would you expect it to last very long if you never changed the oil and tires, or had it tuned up and inspected? Probably not. Your AC system is also complex machinery, and benefits from a professional checkup, just like your car.
- Warranty Maintenance: While manufacturers differ, some have stipulations in their warranties that render the warranty void if maintenance is not completed by a qualified, licensed professional. This means that while it might be tempting to maintain your AC by yourself, it can also void the warranty – which can leave you with out-of-pocket expenses on repairs.
- Small Problems Can Be Identified: Over the course of normal operation, components within your system can experience small issues. Refrigerant lines might develop a leak, parts like nuts and bolts might corrode, and drainage lines might become clogged. These are small problems that can easily be identified through regular maintenance, but if left unchecked, they can turn into larger – and much more expensive – issues.
