Benefits of Air Conditioner Maintenance

Air Conditioner Maintenance

Northeast Ohio residents are accustomed to summer’s brutal hot temperatures and high humidity.  Sometimes the only relief from the heat is being able to come home to a refreshingly cool and comfortable home.  No matter if you rely on your air conditioning system purely for comfort or for health reasons, any unexpected breakdown can be cause for serious concern. Routine air conditioner maintenance is one of the best ways to ensure maximum efficiency, performance, safety and reliability of your home’s cooling system.

6 Benefits of Air Conditioner Maintenance

Just like cars need routine oil changes to maintain their dependability and performance, your HVAC system requires seasonal maintenance for the same reasons.

1. Increased System Efficiency

Over time dirt and debris can collect, forcing your system to work harder to maintain your comfort demands.  This not only causes the system to run inefficiently but also puts excess strain on system components, increasing the likelihood of premature failures and breakdowns.  Routine air conditioner maintenance ensures your system is clean and running at peak efficiency.

2. Maximize Life Expectancy

Like most things, a system that is well maintained will stand up better against the test of time. Keep your system lasting longer with routine care and maintenance.

3. Improved Air Quality

Keeping your system clean is important for your family’s health. Dirt, dust, allergens and contaminants can circulate throughout your home, creating a health hazard for family members who suffer from severe allergies or asthma.

4. Prevent Untimely Breakdowns

Let’s face it, every air conditioner will experience a problem or two at some point.  The timing and severity of these problems are largely dependent on a systems age as well as how well it’s been maintained throughout its life.  During a routine inspection, more experienced technicians are able to identify and correct small issues before they turn into untimely and inconvenient breakdowns.

5. Minimize Repair Costs

If gone unnoticed, small problems can easily turn into costly headaches. Routine inspections can catch the issues early and save you from expensive repairs.

6. Maintain Warranty

In the event of a system malfunction, many major repairs are covered under a system warranty.  However, most manufacturers as a term of the warranty agreement, require that an annual checkup be performed.  System’s that haven’t been maintained to the manufacturer’s specifications are subject to a voided warranty.
