Since we recommend people have professional maintenance done for their air conditioning systems in spring, it may sound like the time is almost up to get it done. This isn\u2019t the case at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular maintenance is one of the most important services you can have done for your AC, and it doesn\u2019t have an expiration date. It has a \u201crecommended\u201d date, but the only requirement is that professionals do it once a year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Still Recommend Spring or Early Summer for Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We do want to be clear about the ideal time to have air conditioning system maintenance, which is fall or early summer. You\u2019ll receive the most benefit from maintenance when you have it done before the major heat waves arrive and you use the air conditioner on a regular basis. And because it\u2019s not even officially summer yet, you\u2019re right on time if you schedule maintenance now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Maintenance Needs to Be Done Annually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The big takeaway from this blog post is that maintenance done later is still far better than skipping it for a year. We don\u2019t want our customers to decide that they might as well abandon maintenance for a year if they haven\u2019t gotten it done by mid-July. Maintenance is both a long-term and short-term investment, and those long-term benefits are among the most important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are reasons maintenance should be kept up with each year, even if it\u2019s done later a few of those years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It keeps the warranty valid: <\/strong>Equipment warranty for your air conditioner is an essential consumer protection. A small percentage of AC units leave the factory with faults, but the warranty will cover parts repair and replacement in case something goes wrong. Lack of maintenance may void the warranty and leave you paying for parts that would otherwise have been covered.<\/li><li><strong>It helps the air conditioner last for as long as possible: <\/strong>The average service life of central air conditioners is 10 to 15 years, but only if the ACs receive annual professional maintenance. Skipping maintenance gives wear and tear a chance to take hold and cause the system to age faster. Your AC will need to be replaced years earlier without routine maintenance.<\/li><li><strong>It catches repair issues before they can become serious: <\/strong>Maintenance gives our technicians the opportunity to examine an air conditioner closely and find where there are potential problems. It\u2019s similar to your annual visit to the doctor. Early detection for ACs means fewer and less expensive repairs.<\/li><li><strong>It stops a decline in AC efficiency: <\/strong>When an AC misses maintenance, the wear on the unit will cause it to lose energy efficiency and cost more to run.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now is a great time for this <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/ac-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioning service in Fresno, CA<\/a>.
