You’ve probably heard of maintenance before. If you drive a vehicle, you likely take it in for routine tune-ups on a regular basis–once it hits so many miles.

While you don’t have to worry about the mileage of an air conditioner, you do need to worry about how efficiently and effectively it’s going to work throughout its 10-15 useful service life.

We mention this useful service life because it’s only possible with routine, professional maintenance. Maintenance allows us to inspect, clean, and adjust anything necessary while alerting you to potential repair needs.

This service should be done at least once a year–twice if you have a year-round heat pump–and although we typically recommend AC tune-ups in the spring, it’s never too late to have it done. If you haven’t scheduled AC maintenance in the last year, now is the time to give us a call! In the meantime, read on as we uncover some of the biggest benefits of professional AC maintenance.

There aren’t many things that HVAC professional will tell you that you can do on your own when it comes to servicing your air conditioner. In fact, we actively advise against trying to do AC repairs on your own as it can lead to injury, or at least further damage to your air conditioner that could end up costing you.

It’s also a service you should really leave to the pros.

At this point you’re likely thinking, “okay, I get it! I won’t touch my air conditioner!” But don’t you worry, there actually are steps you can take all on your own, without the assistance of an HVAC technician, to boost the efficiency of your air conditioner so you can stay cooler, more affordably.
