With summer just around the corner, you’ll count on your HVAC system to make your life more comfortable. Your air conditioner is one appliance you shouldn't neglect in cooler weather if you want it to be ready to work when it's hot. Your cooling system's filters, coils, and fins require regular maintenance for the unit to work efficiently and last for years. There are other important reasons, some listed here, to keep your air conditioner well maintained.

Why You Should Have Your AC Unit Maintained Regularly

1. Saves You Money

Regularly servicing your air conditioning unit can prevent you from calling a contractor to make more substantial and costly repairs. Scheduled maintenance is less expensive than emergency service, and replacement of worn-out parts is more expensive than caring for them along the way or replacing the entire unit when it breaks down.

2. Improves the Air Quality 

You have little control over the air you breathe outside of your home. Inside is a different story. Routine maintenance of your air conditioner, including cleaning filters, can reduce common indoor allergens from ordinary household dust from pet dander, dust mites, cigarette smoke, pollen, and mold. In general, preventive maintenance helps ensure that the cold air pumping through your vents is as clean and well-filtered as possible.
