High heat and humidity can threaten to turn your Melbourne, Florida, home into a sauna. However, an AC that receives regular maintenance can keep your home comfortable all year regardless of how sticky it gets outside.
What Makes Air Conditioning Maintenance Such a Big Deal?
When you install a new air conditioner, it has an average life expectancy of 15 to 20 years. That number assumes that the unit will be serviced properly. Maximizing the lifespan of your cooling system is just one of the benefits of annual air conditioning maintenance. There are others:
- Maximizes the efficiency of the unit
- Helps to decrease utility bills
- Keeps warranties in effect
- Can prevent up to 95 percent of unexpected system breakdowns
- Can reduce operating expenses by up to 40 percent
- Reduces potential repairs
- Improves indoor air quality
- Gets rid of gritty buildup that impedes system performance and causes your AC to overwork
Which Services Are Performed During an AC Tune-up?
