How and When Your AC Should Be Serviced Every Year

Let’s face it – in-depth AC maintenance is probably not the first thing on your mind year-round, and that’s perfectly fine. It’s our job to concern ourselves with the technicalities of AC maintenance; your job is to know how you can help and to call us when you need to. That being said, too many homeowners let their AC unit’s efficiency suffer due to not having it serviced often enough. Understanding when your AC should be serviced is the biggest step to extending its lifetime and optimizing its productivity. What can you do, and when is it time to give us a call? Check out our guide below for everything you need to know.

When to Call in the Pros

Contrary to what many homeowners believe, HVAC service providers aren’t just there to help when something goes wrong with your AC – they’re there to help prevent those problems from happening in the first place.

It’s highly recommended to have your AC serviced at least once a year – and, in Florida, that should be before summer, our most intense season, arrives. Having this regular servicing is important because it makes sure your AC unit is optimized for the time of the year when you’ll need it most.

During an annual service visit, your HVAC service-person will inspect your AC for any early-onset issues, and they will perform a deep clean of its air filters and condensing coils. This is extremely important because as dirt accumulates, it takes away up to 5% of your AC’s operating capacity annually.

What You Can Do

Luckily, you have the power to keep your AC unit in optimal shape, and that starts with being consistent. Make sure your air filters are changed regularly, about once a month, and that your vents and the exteriors of your ducts are spot-cleaned each time. We also recommend cleaning the exterior of your unit itself seasonally to remove any dust or mold spores that may have accumulated on it.

Consider a Maintenance Plan

Luckily, you don’t have to pay out-of-pocket every time you need your air conditioner to be routinely serviced. Look into working with an HVAC service provider who offers a maintenance plan. Not only will subscribing to a maintenance plan cut costs, but it’ll also help you stay completely on top of your AC maintenance with barely a second thought. Our maintenance plan, for example, offers two free professional cleanings a year, a complete precision tune-up, 20% off any repair, and many more benefits.

Subscribing to an HVAC maintenance plan is the easiest way to help make sure your AC unit runs smoothly every day of the year.

It’s important to get your AC unit serviced at least once a year by an HVAC provider you trust, and the best way to do that is to subscribe to an AC maintenance plan. To learn more air conditioner maintenance tips to help keep your unit in great shape, click here.
