Is it safe to say that summer is here? Well, maybe in principle because the warmer weather is starting to arrive with more regularity....
Regular Air Conditioning Service is Essential for Your Home – And Here’s Why
We simply become accustomed to many things in life, and air conditioning systems and their operational efficiency fall into that category.
How many times have you come home from school, work (or anywhere), Noticed your home’s indoor air could use an adjustment, and all you need to do is open an app on your phone? We’re used to these things working. We’re used to them operating as they should and providing either warmer or cooler indoor air when we want it.
But without proper HVAC maintenance, none of this happens as we expect it should. Neglecting maintenance can have an adverse effect – and will end up costing you a lot of time and money.
So, if it’s been a while and your home’s air conditioning system could use a tune-up, it’s better to act fast and be proactive. The reactive option is far more costly.
Why your air conditioning system is so important to your home
Air conditioners are about more than just cool air during the summer months.
They’re a critical component of your home and its infrastructure. The main function of an air conditioning unit is to circulate air and filter in new air,
which helps in the removal of pollutants and particles that are harmful to your indoor air quality. And if someone in your home is susceptible to poor air (asthma or allergies). The air conditioning provides what can be considered a life-saving service.
Air conditioning also lowers humidity in the home, which occurs when air becomes stagnant or hasn’t been circulated in some time. The dehumidification process also removes moisture from indoor air so the air feels “normal.”
5 main benefits of regular air conditioning service
As a rule of thumb, Uncle Mike’s Home Service recommends having your air conditioner serviced two times a year. Once in the spring before summer arrives and then again in the fall.
Scheduling maintenance in the fall is beneficial because you can get ahead of potential problems in the spring, and if certain parts are needed. Knowing that ahead of time will help get the parts on schedule.
Longer lifespan of your home’s AC system
When your air conditioning unit (or system) does not receive routine maintenance, small problems can quickly become bigger problems. One of the most common results is decreased efficiency and operational lifespan of the system; new A/C units can cost more than $10,000 when factoring in installation and labor costs.
Lower costs on your monthly utility bills
An efficient air conditioning unit is a unit that doesn’t need to work as hard. With regular maintenance, your A/C system is more efficient which keeps your utility costs down. Wouldn’t you like to see a lower monthly bill?
