Why Schedule an AC Tune-Up?
May 1, 2017
Living in Florida means that we don’t have to deal with the long and intensely cold winter season that other parts of the country experience. It also means that our air conditioners really do not get too much of an “off-season.” Considering just how hard our air conditioning systems work, along with the fact that all air conditioners require maintenance, it should be clear that you need to have your system tuned up regularly.
Because temperatures around here are already hovering in the mid-80’s, we’re guessing that you’ve already put your AC back into regular rotation. If you have but have not yet had it tuned up this year, contact us right away. You may think it is inconvenient to shut your system down and have it tuned up at this point, but it definitely beats the alternatives of skipping AC maintenance in Miami, FL.
Save Money
Perhaps the most eye-catching reason for consumers to schedule routine air conditioning maintenance is the fact that it can help them to save money in the long run. Now, your air conditioner has a ceiling in terms of its energy efficiency capabilities. Routine air conditioning maintenance is not going to raise this ceiling. What it can do, however, is help your system to operate as close to that ceiling as possible.
When you run your AC hard throughout our very long, very hot cooling season, it is going to incur a lot of wear and tear. If you do not have that wear and tear addressed by a trained professional, then the system is going to have to work harder than it should in order to cool your home. That will leave you with higher energy costs.
Protect Your Investment
A whole-house air conditioning system is a pretty major expense for most homeowners. Naturally, you’re going to want to get the most out of that investment. In order to keep your AC up and running effectively for as long as possible, you are going to need to have it regularly tuned up.
All air conditioners are working with finite lifespans, and routine maintenance won’t make your system last forever. It will, though, keep the system running effectively until its lifespan is up, while preventing any unnecessary shortening of that lifespan.
Enjoy Reliable Comfort
Keeping your air conditioner operational, but requiring frequent repairs to do so, is not an ideal situation. Again, it is important to keep the limitations of mechanical systems in mind. No, scheduling routine AC maintenance is not going to make your system invincible to potential problems. It will keep those problems to a minimum, though.
You should be able to live comfortably in your home, regardless of how hot it gets outside. This is not going to be possible if your system is not functioning reliably. Even if the system is running, remember, it may not be running properly. Scheduling routine maintenance helps to bring existing issues to light so that they can be resolved before damage is done.
