AC Maintenance Performed in the Summer

Temperatures have started to rise in Spring Hope, NC, but that doesn’t mean that it’s too late to tune up your air conditioning system. Here is a look at why it’s still worth calling to get seasonal AC maintenance.

Professional Maintenance Saves Money

Avoiding maintenance actually costs you money. Not scheduling annual maintenance service will cost you about 5% in efficiency every year that your air conditioning system goes without maintenance. This decline only gets worse the longer you wait between service calls.

Avoid Costly Breakdowns

How many times have you heard of someone’s air conditioning system failing to work on the hottest day of the summer? Getting regular maintenance is a key element in helping to prevent this scenario. Our certified technicians are trained to spot potential problems and resolve them before they turn into big breakdowns.

Maintenance Extends Your System’s Life

Most central air conditioning systems have a useful life that lasts about 10 to 15 years. However, if you schedule annual maintenance, you can make your system last longer as well as function more efficiently. The older your system is, the more important it is to get annual maintenance to clean and lubricate moving parts to keep them in optimal condition.

An annual service appointment will also let you know how much longer your system is likely to perform before it does need an upgrade. This can give you a few months to years of lead time to start pricing systems and saving for the expense.

Why You Need Professional Service

Having a professional inspect your system ensures that your system is working at optimal capacity. A professional technician will check for the correct amount of refrigerant, adjust the property airflow, check for leaks and perform other tasks that you may not be able to do on your own.
