Service the AC in the Spring to Get it Ready for Summer!
Summer may still be weeks away, but before long, homeowners will start having to use their air conditioners daily to stay cool and comfortable. But even in the relatively mild Michigan summers, many homeowners make the mistake of putting off AC maintenance until the summer heat arrives in full force - or neglecting it altogether.
When the air conditioner starts acting up or quits working entirely, homeowners can be left waiting much longer than they’d like for a service technician to show up - after all, summer is the busiest time of year for HVAC professionals! So to help avoid such an inconvenient and uncomfortable scenario, homeowners should schedule maintenance for their air conditioners in the spring. This blog will discuss three benefits of air conditioning maintenance.
Improves Energy Efficiency
One of the key benefits of routine AC tune-ups is that it keeps the unit functioning at peak energy efficiency. Some maintenance tasks that help keep the air conditioner efficient are replacing dirty air filters, cleaning evaporator coils, and checking the refrigerant levels.
Without regular tune-ups, the AC unit can lose efficiency and struggle to meet the demands of the thermostat, requiring more and more power to cool the home. This can lead to painfully high utility bills, especially when summer arrives. Fortunately, homeowners can enjoy lower energy bills during the summer by having the unit maintained in spring.
More Consistent Performance With Fewer Repairs
Not only does AC maintenance help homeowners save on energy bills, but it also helps them save on surprise repair costs. AC tune-ups involve various tasks designed to mitigate wear and tear on the system and find any minor issues before they become big problems. This means that the unit will be less likely to break down unexpectedly and require costly repairs with regular maintenance by a professional.
Naturally, this has the added benefit of keeping the AC system’s performance more consistent and saving homeowners money on preventable repairs and breakdowns. Routine maintenance reduces wear and tear and damage to the system, so the system can perform more reliably and with fewer repairs when keeping the home cool in the summer.
Extends the Lifespan of the Unit
By improving energy efficiency and performance, preventing damage, and addressing problems as they arise, AC maintenance is undoubtedly the best way to ensure that the air conditioning system lasts as long as possible. It’s so important that most air conditioner manufacturers include routine tune-ups from a qualified professional as a requirement in their long-term warranties.
By extending the lifespan of their air conditioner through regular AC maintenance, homeowners can save even more money by avoiding needing an early air conditioning replacement. With all these benefits, it’s easy to see how vital spring AC maintenance is for reliable and efficient cooling this summer!
