The Top 5 Benefits of Spring AC Maintenance

technician-checking-on-ac-pressure

Your AC needs a regular tune-up, just like your car does. You might not think about your air conditioning system as much as your vehicle—you don’t use the air conditioner year round—but if you ignore its maintenance needs, it can create plenty of problems.

We recommend our customers arrange for professional air conditioning maintenance in Sandersville, GA each spring, well in time for the big heat of summer. We’ve been in business for more than 20 years, so we’ve seen how beneficial this regular service is for our customers. Need more convincing? Follow along below as we look at the top five benefits of scheduling annual spring maintenance for your air conditioning system.

ONE: Fewer Repairs

Here’s a statistic that will put maintenance in perspective: more than half the repair an air conditioner may need during its service life can be prevented with annual maintenance. During maintenance, our technicians do extensive checks to spot potential problems that are developing; we can then make small repairs and adjustments to head off a bigger problem later. Our tune-up steps (lubricating motors, cleaning coils, tightening electrical connections) also help stop malfunctions.

TWO: Better Energy Efficiency

Your air conditioner’s energy efficiency rating will decline each year that it doesn’t receive maintenance, usually around 5%. As efficiency drops, energy bills rise, so missing maintenance for several years can translate into you paying around 20–25% more to run the AC than necessary. Maintenance procedures slow down how fast the AC ages, so you can expect to only see a small decline in efficiency over most of the unit’s service life and steady bills that don’t keep climbing.

THREE: Reliable Performance

Imagine it’s the hottest day of the summer in Georgia. You wait for the AC to kick on as it usually does, but nothing happens. Or the AC turns on and the house doesn’t get cool enough. This is a risk you’ll face if the air conditioner isn’t maintained in spring. When you get maintenance out of the way before summer, you’ll have a dependable AC that will have few troubles sailing through even the hottest summer scorchers. 

FOUR: Longer Service Life

Investing in maintenance is an investment in a long lifespan for your air conditioning system. With annual maintenance, you can expect your AC to reach the higher end of its service life expectancy, which is 10-15 years. On the other hand, neglecting maintenance can end up forcing you to replace the air conditioner years earlier, and that’s a big waste of money. 

FIVE: Warranty Protection

You may not know this, but the manufacturer’s warranty for your air conditioning system requires regular maintenance for the unit. Skipping maintenance may void the warranty, and you may end up stuck paying for a repair or full replacement that would’ve otherwise been covered by the terms of the warranty. Maintenance will keep this important consumer protection in place. (Around 2% of ACs leave the factory with some kind of fault, so warranties are extremely important.)
