Although it\u2019s a \u201crecommendation,\u201d we don\u2019t think of maintenance as just a beneficial service\u2014it\u2019s a necessary one if you want your air conditioner to have the longest service life with the fewest problems and lowest operating costs possible. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on why tune-ups are essential, check out our article on<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snellair.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/4-reasons-to-book-an-ac-tune-up-today\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 reasons to book an AC tune-up today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not the only people making this recommendation. The US Department of Energy urges all homeowners to have annual maintenance for their air conditioner. And there\u2019s no better time for the job than spring, right before the hot weather arrives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top 5 Ways Regular AC Maintenance Benefits Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We could rattle off a long list of the benefits of keeping current with maintenance year after year for your central air conditioning system. We\u2019ve cut the list down to these five, which can make a huge difference for your home cooling and budget. One key benefit is avoiding issues like<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snellair.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/why-does-my-ac-shut-off-early\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what happens when your AC shuts off early<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can disrupt comfort and efficiency.<\/span> For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snellair.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/why-a-clogged-condensate-drain-is-a-big-problem\/\">short cycling caused by a clogged condensate drain<\/a> can significantly affect your system\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Reduced number of repairs: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of repairs an AC may need during its lifetime are due to lack of maintenance. Yes, that\u2019s right: you can eliminate more than 50% of the repairs your AC would otherwise need just by having an annual system inspection and tune-up.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reliable performance:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A failed AC during one of the hottest and most humid days of summer is a bad time. Nobody wants that. Maintenance is the best defense against this from happening. Not only will you enjoy steady cooling, but you\u2019ll have extra peace of mind\u2014and nobody can put a price on that!<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>System longevity:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When an air conditioner doesn\u2019t have regular maintenance, it will wear down faster and have its service life cut short. Where a system that\u2019s maintained each year can last from 10 to 15 years, one that\u2019s neglected may give out in 5 to 8 years and force an expensive early replacement.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Energy efficiency:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year an AC misses maintenance, the strain and build-up of dirt on it will lower its energy efficiency. This means paying more to cool your house than you should. Maintenance protects system efficiency and keeps bills under control.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A valid warranty:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The equipment warranty for an air conditioner may be voided if the system does not receive regular professional maintenance. Because approximately 2% of ACs leave the factory with some kind of fault, the warranty is a vital consumer protection, one you don\u2019t want to let lapse because the AC didn\u2019t get maintenance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Comfort Club: Member-Only Benefits for AC Maintenance<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have our own maintenance program, the Comfort Club, to make maintenance easier for our customers.
