What good is your central air conditioning system without annual preventive maintenance? Over time, not all that much.

Consider these key facts:

• The average system lifespan is 12-15 years
• Annual maintenance helps keep your system in top working order, possibly even extending its lifespan
• AC maintenance also helps reduce total repair costs
• You’ll pay less to cool your home
• You’ll benefit from reduced indoor humidity

Then there’s the safety angle. Mold and mildew, for example, can build up in or near the air handler. During annual preventive maintenance, one of our skilled technicians will keep an eye on that for you along with other safety matters.

AC Self-Maintenance Tips   

AC system maintenance doesn’t end when our team walks out the door.  It’s a season-long job we encourage you to take part in…for your own sake.

• If your home suddenly becomes too hot or cold, check the thermostat. Someone may have accidentally changed the setting.
• Regularly clean (or replace) your filter. Otherwise, it will clog up with dust and dirt and that only makes your system work harder to keep you cool. Over time, that added wear and tear will result in more repairs and a shorter system lifespan.
• Keep weeds and shrubs away from the outdoor unit. It needs plenty of room to vent the heat it’s removing from your house.
• Indoors, keep clothing, furniture, window treatments and other obstructions away from vents and registers.
