Most of the systems in your home run with little to no input on your part. This includes your plumbing, electricity, heating, and yes, your air conditioning. While this is incredibly convenient, there is a big downside most people don’t look at. When something runs with little to no input from you, it’s easy to forget about them. At the bare minimum, however, you should be having annual AC maintenance done on your home. Continue reading to find out why.
Increased Lifespan of Your Air Conditioner
Regularly maintaining your air conditioner can increase the lifespan of your unit. During a yearly inspection, an HVAC technician will ensure your system is running smoothly and can take care of any issues that present themselves.
Avoid Emergencies at Inopportune Times
Getting regular yearly maintenance can help keep your air conditioner working when you need it the most. Ideally, you could get a yearly service and inspection done on your unit before the hottest months hit. Although some emergencies can’t be avoided, those related to a poorly cared-for AC system can.
Saves You Money in the Long Run
By increasing the lifespan of your air conditioner and avoiding expensive emergencies, you can save a lot of money in the long run. The more years of use you can get out of your air conditioner, the better your return on investment will be.
Take, for example, a unit that costs $2,000. If that unit only runs five years, you’re essentially paying $400 a year for that unit. If that same unit runs for fifteen years, you’re only paying $133.33 a year for that unit.
