Consider Your Geographical Region and Climate
When determining how frequent your AC unit should be maintained, you need to consider where you are located and the frequency of use. For example, if you are living in Northern Florida, you may not run your AC unit as often when it’s cooler outside. This can also be true if you are living somewhere coastal that allows you to open your windows frequently throughout the year. However, for most people in the US, our AC unit is relied on daily. Especially when living in Florida. If you are living in Florida, your AC unit maintenance should be a top priority. In the summer months, emergency calls come in droves and cost home owners unnecessary expenses had they properly maintained their AC unit. Avoid the unfortunate experience of being without AC during July by regularly scheduling a service visit at least once per year in preparation for the time when your AC unit will be working the hardest.
The Age Of Your AC
When performing research about the frequency of maintenance for your AC, age is not just a number. The older your AC unit is, the harder it has to work. It’s a fact of life and it can be applied to all areas. Your unit has hours on it, just like a boat engine. The longer it’s sustained itself and made it through the scorching summer months, the more attention it will need to ensure it’s properly functioning. Annual service calls are great for households located in climates with changing seasons or for those with brand new units. Many HVAC professionals recommend maintenance twice each year – every six months for peak performance. This is needed to maintain your system and keep your air conditioner clean.
