There are many reasons why you shouldn’t put off annual air conditioning maintenance. Your AC needs service to maintain its performance on the hottest days of the summer. But it’s not just performance improvements you’ll notice.

Some of the benefits of air conditioning maintenance are:

Maintains Warranty Coverage

Professional preventative maintenance helps you stay in compliance with your system’s manufacturer’s warranty. If you’ve gone years without air conditioning maintenance, check with your HVAC system’s technician to make sure it’s still valid.

Warranties cover expensive parts for air conditioning repairs, and, without a warranty, AC service can be much more expensive.

Reduces the Risk of Breakdowns

Routine maintenance doesn’t just help your AC work well for the year — it also extends its service life and helps reduce the risk of a total breakdown with higher repair costs. A licensed technician can identify any minor issues with your air conditioning system and repair them before they get worse.

Cooling systems that are inspected annually are prepared with the right equipment and new parts to tackle the hottest days of summer.

Saves Energy

When you have your air conditioner serviced for the season, it will be restored to peak efficiency. This means your cooling system could operate up to 40% more efficiently. Your central air system won’t need to consume as much energy to operate and keep up with the level of cooling you desire. When your HVAC system uses less energy, it’s good for your wallet and the environment.

Saves Money

When you use less energy to cool your home, you’ll save money on energy bills. The sooner you schedule service for your AC, the sooner you’ll save money on cooling costs. Air conditioner maintenance also helps you save money because when your system is less likely to break down, you won’t need to call for repairs or emergency services in Chesterfield.

Allows for System Improvements

With regular maintenance, you can help improve your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ). Keeping your system free of dirt and debris eliminates the possibility of it flowing through to the air. Changing or cleaning your air filter at least every three months helps accomplish the same goal, in addition to promoting peak performance from your air conditioner.

A well-maintained heating and cooling system sets you up for success and the ability to achieve your desired comfort level in your home.

If you have a room that isn’t as cool as the others, or if it seems like your air conditioner isn’t working as well as it did last summer, AC maintenance can help restore it to its former glory and restore your comfort. You’ll notice comfort improvements shortly after your AC maintenance.

Improves the Lifespan of Your AC

Air conditioners have an average life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. If your system is getting older, and you’re worried you might need a new system soon, having annual service performed can help get the most out of the last few years of your air conditioner, improving its performance and helping it last to its full lifespan, and maybe even longer.

With the help of our knowledgeable and experienced professionals, you can rest assured your system is ready to provide you with comfort when you need it.
