As temperatures soar into triple digits in Tempe, AZ, air conditioners are being pushed to their limits. What happens when yours breaks down during a blistering summer day? Aside from the discomfort, emergency AC repairs can cost a fortune, and cooling bills are already sky-high. Don’t wait for a crisis to hit. Spring is the perfect time to get ahead of the heat and ensure your ducted or ductless AC system is running optimally by scheduled professional maintenance.
Prevent Costly Emergency AC Repairs
Scheduling AC maintenance in the spring helps catch small issues before they become major breakdowns. Whether you use a ducted or ductless AC system, components wear out, refrigerant levels drop and filters clog. A pre-season inspection ensures your air conditioner runs smoothly all summer, reducing the risk of emergency service calls that can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Maximize Cooling Efficiency
Tempe’s relentless heat demands maximum performance from your air conditioner. Without routine AC maintenance, systems struggle due to dirt buildup, clogged filters or duct leaks. Ductless mini-splits can also suffer from blocked coils or malfunctioning fans. Tuning up your AC system in the spring means it will use less energy while delivering cooler air more effectively, ultimately slashing your utility bills.
Extend the Life of Your AC System
Your AC system is a significant investment. Regular spring maintenance extends the lifespan of both ducted and ductless air conditioners by reducing wear and tear. Ignoring minor issues leads to the premature failure of parts like compressors or motors. Proper upkeep ensures your system stays reliable for years to come, delaying the need for expensive AC replacements.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Dust, pollen, and debris accumulate in ducted and ductless AC systems, especially during Arizona’s dry spring months. If not cleaned, these pollutants recirculate throughout your home, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. A thorough AC maintenance check includes cleaning or replacing filters and inspecting ducts or indoor units, resulting in fresher, healthier air for your family.
