There may still be cold surprises,\nbut right now is the time to prepare for the mid-year weather change. One of\nthe big steps homeowners need to take is to have HVAC professionals inspect and\ntune-up their air conditioning systems as part of maintenance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve never heard of this? Or you haven\u2019t remembered to do it? We\u2019re glad we caught you, because this is as important a job as you can have done for your AC. We cannot overestimate how important <a href=\"\/hvac\/air-conditioning\/maintenance-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">air conditioning maintenance in Slidell, LA<\/a> is for your comfort and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Maintenance Prevents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explain why maintenance is essential every\nyear is to list what can happen when an AC misses out. It starts out small, but\nproblems worsen fast\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Expensive operation: <\/strong>A bit of dust and\ndirt can affect how much work an AC does. Dust and dirt build up over time, and\nso does mechanical wear and stress on the air conditioner\u2019s parts. Each year,\nan AC without maintenance will cost more to run. In fact, you can expect to pay\n30% to 40% more to have cooling in your house if you don\u2019t maintain the AC.<\/li><li><strong>Too many repairs:<\/strong> Strain on AC parts also\nincreases the likelihood of a repair problem, like leaking refrigerant or a busted\nmotor. Around 85% of the repairs that affect an air conditioner are due to lack\nof maintenance. The difference with regular care is enormous\u2014think about being\nable to prevent 85% of repairs over the AC\u2019s lifetime!<\/li><li><strong>Irregular and undependable:<\/strong> When you turn\non the AC, you want it to cool. That\u2019s why you have it. But if it isn\u2019t cared\nfor as it should be, you won\u2019t have the assurance you need that it will always turn\non. You may end up with unpleasant mid-summer shock from a busted AC.<\/li><li><strong>Shorter life:<\/strong> As if paying too much to\nrun the air conditioner and continuing to repair it weren\u2019t enough, the cooling\nsystem won\u2019t last long without maintenance. A well-maintained AC can often reach\n15 years of service. A poorly maintained one may go extinct in only 8 years. <\/li><li><strong>Voided warranty:<\/strong> \u201cWhat\u2019s the problem? My\nwarranty will protect me.\u201d Yeah, about that. Manufacturer\u2019s warranties protect\nyou from factory faults. If the AC fails when it hasn\u2019t received regular maintenance,\nit can void the warranty and you won\u2019t have protection from any type of\nmalfunction. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sign Up for Maintenance Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer a maintenance program to simplify regular AC care.\nIt blends with our philosophy of helping to take care of our customers rather\nthan making big sales.
