Spring is good news for most people—the weather gets warmer, the days grow longer. But since those warm days will eventually turn into hot days when summer arrives, spring is also the best time to prepare your air conditioner to handle the heat. Your AC does plenty of work each summer to cool your house, and unless it has routine maintenance to alleviate all that strain, it can mean trouble in the short-term and long-term.

“Do I really need maintenance every year?”
We hear this question often, and the answer is yes. Air conditioning systems see a lot of use in our hot and humid summer, and it only takes skipping maintenance for even one year to start to see the negative effects.
However, we want to focus on the positives—maintenance is enormously beneficial if it’s done each year. Here are some of the best benefits of keeping up with AC maintenance each spring.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Regular maintenance ensures that your air conditioning system operates at peak efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Your AC will keep most of its original energy efficiency rating during its service life.
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: Proper maintenance helps prevent wear and tear on your AC unit, leading to a longer lifespan and delaying the need for costly replacements. Lack of maintenance could cut the lifespan of your AC in half.
- Better Indoor Air Quality: Cleaning and replacing filters during maintenance prevents dust, pollen, and other allergens from circulating in your home, leading to cleaner and healthier indoor air.
- Consistent Cooling Performance: Routine maintenance checks and adjustments help maintain optimal airflow and temperature control throughout your home, ensuring consistent comfort during the hot summer months.
- Prevent Costly Repairs: Catching minor issues early through maintenance can prevent them from escalating into major and expensive repairs later on, saving you money in the long run. More than half of the repairs ACs need during their service lives are preventable thanks to maintenance.
- Reduced Risk of Breakdowns: Regular maintenance reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and the inconveniences they cause, especially during peak cooling seasons. Technicians always look for possible malfunctions before they can cause serious problems.
- Warranty Compliance: Many manufacturers require proof of regular maintenance to uphold warranty coverage. Keeping up with maintenance ensures that you comply with these requirements, protecting your investment.
- Peace of Mind: This is the best benefit of all—knowing that your AC system has been properly serviced and is in good working condition means you can trust it will work when you need it to. Summer is much better when you always have a cool house to return to!
