HVAC Maintenance

Is it necessary to service your HVAC unit?

If you forget an oil change for a few thousand miles, how big of a deal is it? You might get lucky, or you might cause significant (and expensive) damage to your vehicle. The same is true for your AC unit. You may think your air conditioning system is working just fine, and it may be, but under significant stress, like the heat of a southeast Georgia summer, it can be sent into overload and either slow or shut down completely.

Air Concepts has been in business since 1999 and we see this every year: we get calls that a unit isn’t cooling properly when people haven’t kept up with the routine maintenance. When our customers are ahead of the problem and get their units serviced regularly, they are saved the headache of a warm home, a higher utility bill, and possibly waiting for an available technician to fix their problem.

What does it mean to get an AC unit serviced?

HVAC service maintenance is the process of inspecting and cleaning your air conditioner to ensure that it’s running properly. It’s an important part of keeping your system healthy and efficient, and it can help you save money on your energy bill. Here are some of the benefits of air conditioning and heating service maintenance:

  • HVAC service maintenance can improve your system’s efficiency. A dirty or clogged air conditioner can’t run as efficiently as a clean one, which means you’ll end up using more energy and spending more money on your utility bill.
  • Regular service maintenance can help prevent breakdowns. A well-maintained air conditioner is less likely to break down than a neglected one. This means fewer unexpected repairs and lower repair costs in the long run.
  • Neglecting your air conditioner can shorten its lifespan by as much as 50%. To extend the life of your system, it needs to be serviced regularly by a professional technician. For most units, this means two times per year.

So, if you’re looking for ways to save money on your energy bill, reduce your risk of breakdowns, and prolong the life of your AC unit, consider investing in an HVAC Planned Maintenance Program.

In addition to having your AC unit serviced regularly, you should also change the filter every month and ensure that there is enough refrigerant in the system. Not sure how to do this? Any of our Air Concepts certified technicians can walk you through it.
