For reasons well beyond our understanding, there are still homeowners out there that fail to schedule professional air conditioning maintenance on an annual basis. Even more perplexing is the fact that they fail to do so when our technicians are here just waiting to ensure that they get the best that their air conditioners have to offer. Let us be blunt about this. Routine air conditioning maintenance is, without exception, the best thing that you can do for your air conditioner in Southern Vermont.
Now, we realize that you don’t necessarily need your air conditioning system just yet. However, we also know that homeowners too often wait longer than they should schedule routine maintenance, sometimes not even doing so until they realize that problems are brewing. Problem is, that’s when repairs are needed, not maintenance. Today, we’re going to share with you some examples of why you really cannot, should not, must not overlook the need for annual AC maintenance!
You Don’t Want to Waste Money
One of the major misconceptions about air conditioning maintenance is that you’re basically throwing money away. After all, why would you pay to have your air conditioner serviced when there is no problem with the system? That’s entirely the point, though. You schedule preventative maintenance so that you don’t wind up with air conditioning problems down the road. And air conditioning problems come in a variety.
Your air conditioner may not break down entirely and be rendered useless, remember. It may even pump out a decent performance if it’s not in great working condition. Unless your system is in great working condition, however, you are paying more than you should in order to cool your home. The harder the system has to work due to being poorly maintained, the more energy it is going to use in cooling your home. That means higher energy costs.
You Don’t Want to Risk a Breakdown
Increased operating costs aren’t the only way in which a poorly maintained air conditioner can cost you money, of course. You also run the risk of a breakdown if you push a poorly maintained air conditioner too hard. And when is your air conditioner most likely to break down? Unfortunately, the answer is—right when you need it the most! When it’s really hot outside, your AC is going to be running hard to keep your home cool.
By scheduling routine maintenance, you are keeping the risk of such a breakdown as low as possible. Now, we’ll be honest with you. Routine maintenance does not guarantee 100% reliability with your air conditioning system. This is because nothing can guarantee that. ACs are mechanical systems, and they run into operational problems from time to time. However, routine maintenance will keep the risk of such problems as low as possible, and can surface problems early so that the fix is more manageable and more affordable when it’s implemented.
