3 Benefits of Scheduling Air Conditioning Service At The End of Summer

We’ve officially entered fall, and with the turning of the season comes a drastically reduced need for your air conditioner. That makes now an excellent time to schedule a servicing session for your air conditioner before you set it aside until next season. Doing so now will help your system be ready to go on a moment’s notice in the spring.

What Is It?

A servicing appointment resembles a tune-up for your car. It’s an effort to analyze the system for signs of any problem (either big or small). If some are found, the little ones can be dealt with as part of the maintenance session: i.e. dirty parts, low refrigerant, or components that have become loose in their housings. If more extensive repairs are required, the problem can be identified early and a proper repair job can be scheduled. (In many cases, the repair job can be conducted immediately, as many of the most needed parts are ready on the truck.)

Monthly Savings

The benefits of a maintenance or servicing session can be seen in three specific areas:

1. Savings. By correcting little problems in the system, you can help improve its efficiency, ensuring that it won’t use as much energy as it might if those issues hadn’t been addressed. That can result in improved monthly savings next summer, as well as a reduced risk of breakdowns or similar repair issues. This is particularly pertinent at the end of a long cooling season, in which individual parts have suffered wear and tear from daily AC use. Dealing with them swiftly means ensuring that the system always works at its best.
2. An early jump on repairs. Similarly, by spotting the signs of a repair early, it gives you a chance to address it in the most effective way possible: you’ll have all winter to schedule a repair session, and since you’ve caught the issue before you start using the system next spring, you’ve prevented the damage from spreading. That will likely lower the cost of the repair job significantly, as well as preventing you from having to rush in the face of an unexpected breakdown.
3. A longer life. When applied regularly, over time, servicing sessions can pay big dividends during the later part of your system’s life. That means that repair calls will come less frequently and often tend to be less expensive when they do occur. Additionally, regular servicing can extend the whole life of the system by months or even years: ensuring that you get the most out of a very expensive investment into your home. Ideally, you should schedule maintenance at the beginning and the end of the cooling season, but at the very least, at least once every year.
