How to Keep Your Air Conditioner in Good Shape

Dependable Service Since 1926

It’s in your best interest to make sure that your air conditioner is in good shape, especially during the summer, when demand on it is at its highest. Going into summer without taking proper steps is a great way to ensure that your air conditioner develops more problems. It may even have a shorter lifespan, if you let it happen too often. If you’re looking for ways to make sure that your air conditioner stays in top condition for as long as possible, follow the tips below.

Schedule Preventive Maintenance This Spring (and Every Spring)

Waiting for a problem to manifest itself before calling for repairs is not a good idea. Yet that is exactly what far too many homeowners do in an effort to save money. In fact, neglecting professional air conditioning services this way can cause quite a bit of damage, costing far more money in the long run. This is because of the nature of air conditioning problems.

The vast majority of issues that can damage an air conditioner do not announce themselves when they first occur. They tend to develop subtly, without showing any obvious symptoms until they’re quite far along. Unfortunately for you, that means that by the time you notice that you have a problem with your air conditioner, you are often too late to prevent the majority of the damage the problem can cause. The best way to prevent various issues from causing harm to your air conditioner is actually to catch them before they advance enough to start developing symptoms. The best way to do that is with preventive maintenance.

A preventive maintenance appointment is the only way to give your HVAC technician the opportunity to catch a lot of problems early. During an appointment, your system will be closely examined to highlight areas that either are currently, or soon may be, malfunctioning. Those areas can then be dealt with before they get any worse. Provided you’re careful to schedule preventive maintenance at least once a year, preferably in spring, you will probably save quite a bit of money and extend the effective lifespan of your air conditioner at the same time.

Call for Repairs as Soon as Possible

Every once in a while, you’re going to have an air conditioning problem come up between maintenance appointments. No amount of preventive maintenance can be 100% effective. If and when that happens, it’s a good idea to call for repairs as soon as you suspect your system of having an issue. Whether or not you know for certain that your air conditioner is having problems, it’s always better to be cautious and have a professional check it anyway. The faster you can have the system checked and repaired by professionals, the better off it will be. Time is of the essence.
