The winter clothes are out of the closet and the weather is just perfect for an evening drive, with the windows rolled down and the wind in your hair. After months and months of working overtime, you can finally turn off the air conditioning (AC) and throw open the windows and doors to let the fresh air in.
Which means you can forget about AC maintenance and servicing until next summer, right? Well…wrong.
If you have been wondering when to service your AC, as counterintuitive as it may seem, winter is actually a great time to get your AC servicing done. Especially if summer is approaching and you want to avoid the last-minute discovery that your AC is just not cooling after winter. Our experts recommend getting AC maintenance and service at least every 4 months to keep them in optimum condition. If you work from home, your AC has probably been working overtime and could use some AC maintenance to keep working well whenever you need it. So while they take some well-deserved downtime, give them a bit of a special treatment with professional AC maintenance services.
Importance of AC Maintenance & Cleaning Service
Here are We Will Fix It’s ‘Top 6 reasons to get AC filter cleaning & maintenance service’ this winter:
1. Better cooling ability
If you don’t remember when you last scheduled an AC cleaning or maintenance service, chances are that your AC’s cooling performance has taken a hit. Wear and tear over daily use during summer takes a toll on your AC’s compressor, condensing and evaporator coil, greatly diminishing your AC’s ability to function efficiently. Consider scheduling an AC maintenance service and avoid a nasty shock when you go to turn it back on when the heat starts building up again.
2. Optimum consumption of electricity/improved efficiency
Have your DEWA bills been hitting the roof with no logical explanation? Your AC could be the silent culprit. An AC that has not been serviced has to work harder to supply cool air. A gradual buildup of dirt and undetected faults within your AC unit forces your system to function in testing conditions which can contribute to your electricity bills spiralling to dizzying heights.
3. Avoid the need for costly replacements
Regular AC maintenance and servicing enables your AC to operate in optimal condition and any signs of inefficiency should be addressed through preventative maintenance. Regular AC servicing is a sure way of avoiding expensive repair work and works out to be economically viable in the long run.
4. Improved air quality
Have you ever had a chance to look into your AC vents, filters or ducts? If yes, you know it can be described as a sight straight out of a horror movie! An unclean AC filter gathers dirt, debris, dust, pollen, pet dander and other allergens, which can have an adverse effect on your health and well-being – which is why AC filter cleaning is important. Regular AC cleaning services ensure that you and your family are breathing clean, fresh air on a daily basis. After all, your AC’s main role is not just to keep you cool, but also to effectively regulate indoor air quality.
5. Aids in the early detection of potential problems
If there was one proverb that could sum up the entire essence of AC servicing, it would have to be, ‘A stitch in time saves nine.’ Early detection of potential AC problems is key to ensuring the smooth functioning of your unit and avoiding costly repair bills. Whether it is a refrigerant leak or faulty air flow, regular AC servicing helps in identifying a failing component and taking necessary measures to bring it up to speed. It is far better to get any repairs done when you are not relying on your AC system to keep you cool.
6. Helps retain an environment-friendly atmosphere/approach
An AC that has been serviced regularly helps you reduce your carbon footprint by consuming less electricity for optimum performance.
Now that you have a fairly decent amount of information to help you decide on getting an AC maintenance service, you stand at yet another crossroads. Who do you call to get the job done?
How to choose a professional AC maintenance and service company:
- Choose someone who does not force you to make a hurried decision. This is a scare tactic employed to get you to commit to spending a large amount of money, without proper system inspection.
