Even though we know that Maryland weather is next-to-impossible to predict, it's still safe to say that the heat and humidity is going to be here sooner than you know it! Warner Service knows that you probably just turned your heat off, and probably don't want to even think about your summer energy bill yet, but you could be missing out on some serious savings if you don't consider some spring HVAC maintenance.
One: Prevent a Surprise Breakdown
Prevention is the #1 reason to have annual spring maintenance for an AC unit. Even though your HVAC unit will often give you some hints before breaking down, you can never be 100% sure without looking inside. Even a young cooling system that seems to function properly could be at risk of collapsing under the heat often experienced at least once per summer. You don’t want to be scrambling to find emergency repair service on a boiling hot day. Thanks to maintenance, your air conditioner will head into the summer in the best condition possible. Although this cannot ensure the system won’t break down, it significantly lowers the chance it will occur—and that will do wonders for your peace of mind. Plus, you have to remember, preventative maintenance costs way less than emergency repairs.
Two: Keep Electrical Bills in Check
As an air conditioner wears down from use, it will consume more energy as it cools your home. Maintenance slows the aging process and helps the system retain most of its energy efficiency. If you keep up with spring maintenance each year, your air conditioner should only lose around 5% of its efficiency over its entire service life, rather than lose 5% every year.
Three: Extend the System’s Lifespan
Speaking of the service life for an air conditioner, you cannot expect your AC to reach its manufacturer’s lifespan estimated without maintenance. If you forgo maintenance entirely, your air conditioner may not even reach half that goal. Replacing an air conditioning system early is a large expense, one that you can avoid thanks to an annual maintenance visit from an HVAC professional. Again, maintenance now will cost WAY less than a new install if your unit bites the dust.
