How Often Should I Have My AC Serviced?

Most homeowners understand that it’s important to maintain their AC systems, but where do you start? How often should you do it? When does your air conditioner need maintenance? These are all questions the team at Air Tech of Conroe is happy to answer for you.

Schedule AC Maintenance Twice A Year

You should schedule a maintenance visit, or tune-up, twice each year, one for your air conditioner and one for your heater. This is because you need to ensure that your AC is prepared for whatever weather conditions Texas throws its way. No one wants to be caught without air conditioning during the first day of triple-digit heat or without a heater on a cold winter night.

The best time to schedule your AC tune-up is in the spring before the weather gets too hot. Likewise, you should schedule a heater tune-up in the fall before the cold weather hits. This way, your HVAC system will be prepared to run efficiently and without issue throughout the entire year.

Why Are Tune-Ups So Important?

Air conditioner maintenance isn’t top-of-mind for most people, and it’s easy to forget about scheduling your AC tune-up as the seasons change. But tune-ups are incredibly important to the health of your HVAC system. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule comes with a range of short-term and long-term benefits for your air conditioner, including:

• Increased system efficiency
• Lower energy bills
• Catching repairs early
• Reducing the risk of breakdowns
• Extending the lifespan of the AC

Investing in tune-ups throughout your air conditioner’s life can save you big in the long run, lowering the amount and cost of repairs it will need and keeping it efficient for longer. You could even put off the cost of replacing your AC for years by taking good care of your current system. With so many clear benefits, you’ll be sure to schedule your tune-ups when the time comes.
