Summer isn\u2019t finished, and your home\u2019s air conditioning system has hard work ahead of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s one of the reasons it\u2019s <em>not<\/em> too late to have your annual AC tune-up and inspection. We recommend our customers have this maintenance service done in spring because it gets the air conditioning system ready before the first of the big heat waves arrive, and it takes the most advantage of maintenance\u2019s benefits. But, and this is the key point to remember, AC maintenance does not have an expiration date. It only needs to be done each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, although we recommend having your future AC tune-ups done in spring if possible, it\u2019s not too late to have the work done now. It\u2019s far better than skipping it for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why \u201cLater\u201d Beats Out \u201cNever\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes air conditioning maintenance so important that every HVAC professional recommends customers schedule it annually? Because these tune-ups and inspections are critical for keeping an air conditioning system from rapidly declining, causing it to become unreliable, more expensive to run, and less effective. We\u2019ll break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Unreliable: <\/strong>Going up against the summer heat\u2014especially in the Central Valley\u2014with an air conditioning system that hasn\u2019t been maintained is a risk. The AC has a higher chance of breaking down abruptly. It will also run into more repair troubles. Maintenance can eliminate more than 50% of the repairs a cooling system might otherwise need. An AC will last longer in general thanks to maintenance, while missing maintenance can remove years from its life.<\/li><li><strong>More expensive to run: <\/strong>The cleanings and adjustments our technicians perform during air conditioning system maintenance help stop the general decline that makes an AC drain more power than it should. If you keep current with maintenance, you can expect your air conditioning system to retain 95% of its original efficiency until close to the end of its service life.<\/li><li><strong>Less effective:<\/strong> Letting an AC decline without professional attention means it won\u2019t work as well. If you notice you\u2019re paying more to run the air conditioner, that\u2019s probably because the air conditioner has to stay on longer to provide the cooling you need.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Ultimate Service Agreement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to have your <a href=\"\/hvac\/air-conditioning\/ac-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioning tune-up in Fresno, CA<\/a> done is to enroll in our Ultimate Service Agreement.
