Reasons for Austin AC Maintenance
We understand that the idea of scheduling air conditioner maintenance services when you don’t notice any problems could seem like an unnecessary expense. The truth, however, is that a lack of routine maintenance on an air conditioner is one of the primary reasons that a major repair winds up being necessary.
Oftentimes, there can be an issue with your system without you realizing it. Just as often, homeowners might notice something strange happening with their unit but ignore the issue until there’s a full system failure.
There are some clear warning signs from your system that it’s time to schedule an air conditioning maintenance appointment.
- Reduced performance
- Higher energy bills
- Can’t hold desired temperature
- Never gets up to desired temperature
- Leakage
- Unusual smells
If your system is experiencing one or more of these symptoms, you should schedule a routine maintenance appointment. Even if you don’t see these signs, you should schedule maintenance on your heating and cooling system twice a year, once in the spring and another in the fall. This is because you want to ensure that your system can handle the heavy use during the most extreme weather periods of the year. Just because you aren’t noticing a problem doesn’t mean that there isn’t one there, and routine maintenance offers peace of mind. It also catches small issues before they become bigger problems due to neglect.
Scheduling routine maintenance twice a year keeps your system running as efficiently as possible. This saves you money on your energy bill as well as minimizing the need for repairs. It’s also smart because it keeps you from being in breach of the terms of your system warranty. Most air conditioners come with a warranty that gives you some protection should anything go wrong with your system. This becomes void, however, if a professional technician isn’t regularly maintaining your system. To help ensure the lifespan of your investment, the health and comfort of your household, and to keep more money in the bank, have one of our experts regularly maintain your AC.
