10 Reasons Why Your AC Needs Annual Maintenance

1. Improved Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained AC unit will run more efficiently, which will ultimately lead to lower energy bills.

 

2. Lower Repair Costs: Many minor issues with an AC unit can be caught and fixed during an annual tune-up. This proactive approach can help prevent costly repairs down the road.

 

3. Improved Air Quality: Regular maintenance can help keep your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) high by cleaning dirt, dust, and other allergens from your unit.

 

4. Longevity: A properly tuned-up AC unit will last longer than one that is not maintained, which helps to protect your investment.

 

5. Reduced Risk of Breakdowns: By addressing minor issues before they become major problems, annual tune-ups help reduce the risk of breakdowns during peak usage times.

 

6. Proper Refrigerant Levels: Appropriate refrigerant levels will fully charge your unit and reduce the chances of freeze-ups.

 

7. Prevent Water Leaks: Regular maintenance can help to unclog drains that may cause water leaks, which potentially can damage your walls or ceiling and create unnecessary expenses.

 

8. Increased Comfort: Annual tune-ups help maintain your unit's efficiency which ensures your home or office temperature is reaching your desired level.

 

9. Improved Safety: Proper maintenance can help reduce the risk of fire hazards caused by electrical malfunctions or other issues.

 

10. Minimize Emergencies: As stated before, by addressing issues early, annual tune-ups help reduce the risk of unexpected and unpleasant hiccups in your unit’s operation.
