What Are the Benefits of AC Maintenance?
Lower Monthly Utility Bills
Simple procedures, like changing an air filter or cleaning a coil, allow the unit to run much more smoothly. And when your air conditioner runs smoothly, it uses less energy — resulting in lower monthly cooling bills.
Fewer Breakdowns
Over 40% of air conditioning breakdowns are caused by a lack of proper AC maintenance. Once dirt gets into the system, parts are more likely to rust and get ruined. By having a qualified technician check your entire AC system, you can find problems before they arise.
Warranties
Most companies don’t accept an air conditioner repair warranty claim if the air conditioner has issues due to lack of maintenance.

Air Conditioner Inspection FAQs
Is there anything I can do myself to keep my air conditioner running smoothly?
Turn off your AC’s fan and gently clean the fins of your blower fan to ensure they run smoothly. Be careful when doing this because the fins bend fairly easily and may be damaged by sharp objects.
Locate your AC’s condenser unit (the big box outside) and ensure it’s free of leaves and other objects that can reduce its efficiency. Hose them out of the way, and prune any nearby bushes and shrubs so nothing blocks the unit.
Also, check the drain when the weather gets humid to ensure moisture is being carried away from the system.
Make sure you keep your air conditioner’s filter well-maintained. Take the filter out and clean or replace it every month. Never run your air conditioner without a filter – this can seriously damage your unit.
