Why is it important to service your AC unit?


Many are familiar with maintenance schedules for our cars and recognize the importance of such schedules in keeping vehicles running smoothly. However, many are unsure about how often their ac unit should be serviced. This is equally as important to know as AC unit failures can arise and lead to emergency situations if one is not prepared. Servicing an AC unit regularly provides peace of mind, knowing that your cooling system is in optimal condition, ready to handle the demands of keeping your home cool and comfortable. 


How often should I be servicing an AC Unit?


We recommend servicing an AC unit seasonally as a good rule of thumb. Having your ac unit serviced seasonally is a preventative measure that will ensure that your unit is performing as efficiently as possible. Maintaining optimal performance for your cooling unit in the sweltering Sacramento heat is essential, as nobody wants to find themselves in a hazardous situation in a hot house. Seasonally servicing your unit can provide you with numerous benefits that could save you money and prevent unforeseen situations. 


What are some of the benefits of servicing an AC unit regularly?


A significant benefit of servicing an AC unit is ensuring that your HVAC air filter is in its best condition. Your HVAC filter contributes to the air quality in your home, the efficiency of your system, and the longevity of your system. This one aspect of the repair could save you money on your power bill as well as improve your health. Your licensed HVAC technician will be able to provide you with comprehensive information on the state of your filter as well as recommend you the best filter options for your system.


Another benefit of servicing an AC unit is staying aware of small issues your unit may be experiencing. Unaddressed small issues over time can, at times, cause large, and costly, problems in the future. Small fixes that your technician can provide for you can save you thousands and keep your unit healthier for longer. Having your entire unit replaced can be an expensive, although sometimes necessary, purchase. However, by regularly addressing small issues you can have the peace of mind that your unit is running at its tip top shape. 


Our HVAC professionals have top-down knowledge of your unit and all of the components necessary to ensure an efficient system. They will address issues during your ac unit service such as loose electrical connections as well as ensuring that your draining systems are operating at their best. Fixes like these are an easy way to prevent significant malfunctions as well as breathing in harmful materials such as mold and mildew.
