We may be seeing a slow start to spring here on Long Island, but summer weather will be here before you know it. Will your air conditioning system be ready to keep you comfortable when temperatures suddenly rise again? If you want to avoid surprise AC system breakdowns and extra high cooling bills this summer, now is the time to schedule maintenance for your air conditioner.
Still not convinced? Here’s what you have to gain by scheduling your AC maintenance in the spring.
Beat the Summer Rush for AC Maintenance
After Long Island saw four big nor’easters last March, the heat and humidity came quickly. This had many Long Island homeowners scrambling to schedule tune-ups for their air conditioning systems during the late spring and early summer, only to have to wait to have their system serviced.
When you schedule your air conditioning tune-up before the summer rush, you are more likely to get an appointment at the time that best suits your schedule.
Prevent Middle-of-Summer Breakdowns
Most air conditioner breakdowns we encounter involve issues that could have been resolved with regular preventative maintenance. Scheduling maintenance now, before the cooling season begins, gives your HVAC technician the opportunity to make optimizations to your system to help it run smoothly all summer and into the fall. Plus, your HVAC technician can catch and address any minor issues that might turn into major issues or even a breakdown later on.
Boost the Efficiency of Your Air Conditioner
Did you know that the tune-ups your HVAC technician makes to your air conditioning system during a maintenance visit can help it run more efficiently? After your technician makes optimizations like cleaning the AC unit, tightening electrical connections, and lubricating moving parts, your AC system is more likely to run at peak performance and conserve more energy.
Reduce Home Cooling Costs
Many homeowners on Long Island watch their home cooling costs climb higher and higher with every year; but they don’t have to. By scheduling annual air conditioner maintenance, preferably before the heat hits, you can optimize your AC system to run at peak efficiency all season long, helping you save on home cooling costs.
