You hear a lot about air conditioning maintenance plans but are they worth it? The short answer: Yes.
Scheduling routine maintenance ensures that you get the most out of your air conditioning unit. Regular check-ups can increase the longevity of your air conditioner and make sure it performs at its absolute best. When homeowners avoid routine AC maintenance, they run the risk of encountering unexpected and expensive repair or replacement costs.
How Often Should I Get My AC Serviced?
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends scheduling a maintenance check on your air conditioning system every 6 months. This is so homeowners can keep their AC systems running with optimal energy efficiency, meaning that their system isn’t using too much unnecessary power. It only takes a few months for your AC system to start pulling more power than it has to, which is why the EPA recommends maintenance twice a year.
When maintenance is performed and your AC unit is performing efficiently and effectively, it doesn’t pull as much power as a unit that has been neglected and in need of a tune up. Here in Florida, homeowners use their air conditioning systems every day, and electric bills can be pretty steep. In an effort to keep power bills to a minimum, most homeowners schedule preventative AC maintenance to not only keep their unit functioning properly, but to save money as well.
