Temperatures are already low here in the northeast. We are cranking up our heaters and not worrying as much about air conditioning. But that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for AC maintenance. In fact, if you haven’t already scheduled the service this year, it’s a good idea to go ahead and do it now.
You can keep reading to learn about the benefits of professional service for your air conditioning in Rochester. Then find out more about why now is a great time to invest in the service, even as we head into the winter season.
AC Maintenance Timing
Scheduling air conditioner maintenance at absolutely any time is better than skipping out on the service altogether. The actual timing of a maintenance appointment is far less important than simply having it scheduled consistently year after year. Ideally, you do want to schedule the appointment around the same time each year so you don’t accidentally go too long between appointments.
For example, you may schedule the service now as summer has come to a close and your air conditioner will take a break for the winter. Alternatively, you may schedule the service in the early spring ahead of needing your air conditioner for the warmer months of the year.
Reasons to Schedule Service Now
If you have not scheduled air conditioner maintenance in the last 12 months, you need to do it now. If you already had air conditioner maintenance earlier this year, you’re good to go until next spring. But if it has been a year or longer since you’ve invested in the service, there is no better time than the present to make an appointment.
It is never too early or too late to invest in preventative care. Even if your air conditioner is only a year or two old, maintenance is still important. The service is equally important as your unit ages and nears the end of its lifespan. Our team can take steps to help get a little bit of extra life out of your system before it needs to be replaced entirely.
Risks of Skipping Maintenance
If you skip out on maintenance, you run the risk of having issues with your air conditioner starting up properly next spring or summer. Maintenance is the best way to be confident that your AC is working at its best. Our team can identify any unusual issues and fix them before they begin impacting how your air conditioner is able to work.
Skipping out on maintenance can also cost you in a couple of different ways. First, your energy bills may be more expensive if your unit loses efficiency due to a lack of care. But you could also spend more on air conditioning repairs that need to be made as wear builds up inside of your unit.
