Owning a home requires a lot of maintenance your front lawn, kitchen appliances, and plumbing system all need your attention on a regular basis but what about your AC system? Do know how your AC system works, or how often you should schedule AC maintenance?
It’s okay to admit that you don’t that’s what we’re here for! Read below for a guide on central air maintenance.
How Often Should You Schedule AC Maintenance?
The biggest mistake homeowners make when it comes to their heating and cooling system is waiting until something goes wrong to call for help. Instead of waiting for problems to arise, you can be proactive. You can schedule routine maintenance.
For a standard HVAC system, you should schedule regular maintenance once a year. Ideally, annual maintenance happens in the spring. You should sign up for a maintenance plan to save time and money.
Central air and furnace systems should also be maintained once a year. AC maintenance services reduce the risk of your AC system breaking down when you need it most.
Services
When an expert comes to your home they are looking at physical parts air filters, drain lines, condenser, evaporator coils, etc. They are also checking electrical components and thermostat function.
Over time, your AC unit attracts dust and dirt that you can’t always see. This build-up can cause the system to run less efficiently meaning you are paying more and getting less. It can also impact your air quality which may have a long-term effect on your health.
Scheduling a service guarantees that all the parts of the AC unit are running efficiently and every area is clean.
You can find more information on a standard AC maintenance checklist here. Regular maintenance services require less time than fixing a problem when it arises. You can expect that a standard maintenance visit will be about one hour depending on how much work needs to be done.
Cost
The cost of AC maintenance depends on how many AC units you have and what kind of condition they’re in.
In comparison, replacing your AC is far more expensive. Routine maintenance can help your AC unit last longer before you have to replace it.
