Now that spring is here, it will soon be time to turn on your air conditioning system. But before you do, it’s important not to forget your unit has been collecting dust and debris through the winter. So, prior to switching to AC, schedule a maintenance visit to ensure your unit is fully functional.

Why You Should Schedule AC Maintenance in Spring

1. Prolong the Life Span of the Unit

Scheduling a maintenance visit early in the spring will maximize the life span of your air conditioning system. If your unit is clogged with dust and other contaminants, this forces the system to expend more energy to keep your home cool. Not only does this raise your bills, but it also increases the risk of a breakdown because the components are working overtime.

2. Improve Indoor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality is one of the main triggers of seasonal allergies, and a dirty air filter circulates contaminants and allergens throughout your home. During the maintenance visit, the HVAC technician will clean or replace broken and dirty filters and then inspect the ventilation system to ensure it is running smoothly. As a result, you’ll breathe easier even if there’s a high pollen count outside.

3. Prevent Emergencies

Every homeowner should have peace of mind knowing their air conditioning system won’t break down during the hottest months of the year. An HVAC technician will detect and repair any potential problems before they worsen. This ensures your comfort and saves you time and money on emergency repairs.  

Scheduling an inspection in the spring will ensure you can make the most of your AC unit all summer long.
