Pre-Season Air Conditioning Maintenance

Air conditioning systems are regulated appliances, requiring expert maintenance to ensure your equipment is performing at its best year-round. Pre-season maintenance is a great way to protect your health, home, and investment properties.

Regular preventive maintenance, performed at least twice a year, can help your system keep up with seasonal temperature swings. Plus, it can increase HVAC performance and help you avoid costly emergency repairs—because no one wants to be left without heat in the middle of a snowstorm. While most newer heating systems require little maintenance, a quick tune-up can greatly extend the life of your HVAC equipment, ensuring it always runs at peak efficiency.

Why Schedule Pre-Season Maintenance?

Great HVAC maintenance requires a fine balance between equipment, airflow, and mechanics. Performing pre-scheduled seasonal preventive maintenance on your air conditioning can help you avoid unexpected failures and extend the life of your HVAC equipment. Pre-season inspections help uncover leaks, rust, rot, damaged wires, and/or corroded electrical contacts. If left untreated, your HVAC system can lead to bigger equipment failures and costly repairs.

According to “Effective maintenance can reduce HVAC energy costs by 5 to 40 percent depending on the system or equipment involved.” – Building Efficiency Initiative
