Ever wondered how many “miles” your air conditioner has clocked in the past year? Unlike cars, air conditioning systems don’t tally miles visibly, but the wear and tear accumulate with every use. Just as you take your car for regular tune-ups, it’s essential to schedule an annual maintenance check for your air conditioning system with Experts in Your Home.
So, why prioritize a pre-summer check for your air conditioning system? Here are the top three reasons:
Reason 1: Enhanced Efficiency A well-tuned air conditioning system operates more efficiently. Dirt and grime accumulation, especially on critical components like the evaporator and condenser coils, impede performance. Regular cleaning during maintenance ensures optimal efficiency, as recommended by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Reason 2: Cost Savings A dirty system may not work harder but will run longer to meet desired temperatures, resulting in higher energy bills. While exact savings vary based on factors like home size and habits, a tuned-up system typically leads to significant cost reductions. Implementing additional energy-saving measures, like sealing and caulking, can amplify these savings.
Reason 3: Prolonged Lifespan Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your air conditioning system. Manufacturers often stipulate longevity with regular upkeep, emphasizing its critical role in system durability. Given the complexity of air conditioning systems, an annual tune-up is vital to ensuring longevity.
