To give your HVAC contractor a break? No! Seriously, many have made the mistake of waiting until the scorching heat of summer to make that call to schedule a checkup of the AC, only to find that the waiting list is long. Furthermore, too often, a spring checkup is entirely overlooked until the AC system fails to cool or some other problem becomes apparent (again, it’s usually on the first very hot day of summer).
Oh, how much better is it to be proactive, prepared for the eventual onslaught of heat and humidity, knowing you can relax in the comfort and security of your tuned up AC. There are many things that can need repair or replacement, rendering your air conditioning less efficient. A significant percentage of your cooling efficiency can result from small seemingly insignificant wear and tear, such as worn fan belts or damaged insulation. A simple blocked filter can place extra strain on your motor. Keeping your air conditioning system running at peak performance will extend its life, save on utility bills and prevent potential future problems.
Your local professional HVAC contractor will check that your air conditioning unit is fully functional and ready to operate at peak efficiency when the heat of summer arrives. They will ensure that your entire coolant line is properly insulated, straighten all coil fins that may be bent, to allow proper air distribution and that make sure that nothing is obstructing air flow. To lower your energy bill and make your home a cool oasis from the summer sun, call your local heating and air conditioning contractor and arrange for your HVAC system service in the spring!
