Having your air conditioner serviced is probably the last item on your weekly to do list. It can feel like a waste of time, especially if everything comes back clear and your AC keeps working well for another year. This is, however, exactly why it is important to take the time to have your air conditioner serviced at least one a year. You want to spend as little of your year thinking about the AC as possible. Having your heating & air conditioning team at Galmiche & Sons take a look at your system at least once a year can ensure this happens. In St. Louis and the surrounding area, call us today at (314) 993-1110 to schedule an inspection.
Reasons to Get Your Air Conditioner Serviced
The main reason to get your air conditioner serviced on a regular basis is to make sure you can catch any issues before they lead to a major breakdown. Not only is it harder to fix an AC unit that’s already broken down, it is also uncomfortable and could be potentially dangerous to have the AC unit break down completely in the middle of a heat wave.
Some other reasons to have your air conditioner serviced regularly include:
- Your AC Will Last Longer – We have all heard the adage: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your HVAC system is no different. And it is not just about preventing the worst breakdowns either. You can save money on your regular AC bills just by getting your air conditioner cleaned.
- Cheaper AC Bills – It is amazing how much you can save simply by having your air conditioner serviced and cleaned more regularly. Built up grime and dust prevent your AC from working up to its full capacity. All this extra strain can increase the cost of your energy bills, wear out your HVAC system faster, and cause expensive repairs or replacements.
- A Service Visit Is Cheaper Than a New Air Conditioner – While you may think a regular air conditioner service visit is not worth the cost, it is easy to see the value of having your air conditioner serviced when you compare it to the cost of a new AC. Of course, new air conditioners may not be at serious risk of breaking down yet. Still, starting with regular inspections right away can extend the life of your AC system down the road.
The Air Conditioner Service Checklist
Just like a doctor’s checkup, there is a checklist of important things your HVAC service team should be sure to check out. These include checking the:
- Air filter and ductwork
- Drain and supply lines
- Refrigerant levels
- Coils for build-up
