It’s Never Too Late to Schedule Air Conditioning Maintenance

Wouldn’t it be great if, no matter what time it is, you were always right on time? Luckily for concerned homeowners, that’s true for air conditioning maintenance! There may be optimal times to schedule your maintenance visit, but it’s never a bad time. 

If you’re concerned about your system breaking down, here’s how you can help make air conditioning maintenance a priority.

Remember, You’re Paying More if You Wait

Each year your system goes without a routine tune-up, your AC loses about 5% of its efficiency on average. A less efficient system costs more to run. If you’ve been avoiding maintenance visits because you think you’re saving money, the temporary up front maintenance cost is usually much lower than what you’ll pay for unoptimized cooling.

Schedule Your Tune-Up to Prevent Breakdowns

Arguably, the only time it’s “too late” for air conditioning maintenance is when it’s broken and unresponsive. Otherwise, even right now would be an excellent time to call and schedule maintenance. 

Thinking this way can be a double-edged sword; it doesn’t mean that as long as your system is broken down, it doesn’t need a tune-up. Instead, it should remind you that regular maintenance can avoid costly and uncomfortable breakdowns.

Set Up a Reminder Each Year

Calling once for maintenance doesn’t mean you’re done for the next few years. You’ll want professional maintenance done at least once a year to avoid problems and keep your system running efficiently. Scheduling these ahead of time can make it much easier to prioritize your tune-ups. 

Because it’s something many people only have done annually, it can be hard to remember to call. Do your future self a favor and put it on your calendar – ideally before summer hits. But if you still forget for some reason, you can at least rest easy knowing that the second best time to schedule a visit is right now.
