As Florida homeowners know, air conditioning is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. With our hot and humid weather, your AC unit is working hard to keep your home comfortable just about year-round. It’s a priority to ensure your air conditioning system is running efficiently and effectively, so it’s important to have it tuned up regularly. But when, actually, is the best time of year to tune up your air conditioning system?
Checking Your AC System
Due to the demanding climate in Florida, the best time to schedule an air conditioning tune-up is in the spring, before the start of the summer season. Temperatures start to rise in March/April, and your AC unit will definitely be running longer to keep your home cool. By having your AC unit serviced before the peak of summer, you can ensure it’s working at its best when you need it the most.
So, what should you expect during an air conditioning tune-up? A technician will inspect and clean your system, check for any leaks, replace worn-out parts, and clean coils and filters. By doing this, your AC unit will work more efficiently, saving you money on your energy bills and prolonging the lifespan of your system.
Neglecting regular air conditioning maintenance could result in a system that struggles to keep up with demand, causing it to work harder than necessary and increasing your energy bills. Additionally, a poorly maintained system could potentially break down, leaving you without air conditioning during the hottest months of the year!
In Florida, where air conditioning is essential year-round, it’s recommended to have your AC unit serviced twice a year. Along with a spring tune-up, it’s also important to have your system serviced in the fall, before the start of the cooler months. This ensures your AC unit made it through the summer months and has a chance to be evaluated after the extra hard work it did in the last few months.
Regular maintenance is important, as it can save you money on energy bills, prolong the life of your system, and ensure your home is comfortable year-round. So, our advice is don’t wait until it’s too late – schedule your air conditioning tune-up today with Total!
