“Routine maintenance” are the two words that will save your air conditioner’s life. And we really want to place emphasis on the word “routine.” Only getting maintenance once every few years is certainly more helpful than none at all, but you’d still be sabotaging your air conditioner’s potential.

Maintenance can only help your air conditioner for a limited time before the machine naturally begins to wear down again. We know that many homeowners avoid it because they don’t like the idea of spending money, but we can assure you that neglecting maintenance will actually cost more in the long run (and we’re not just saying that because we’re an HVAC company in Ponchatoula, LA). Routine maintenance always makes sense, and here’s why:

Air Conditioning Repair Services Should Be Balanced against the System’s Age

Monday, October 16th, 2017

air-conditioning-efficiencyAutumn has officially arrived, bringing with it cooler weather and easing the workload on your air conditioner. This season was especially tough because of the recent inclement weather, and centralized air conditioners with outdoor components may have suffered a great deal of damage. Now is an excellent time to schedule a servicing session to assess the state of your system and plan for repairs. With older systems, another question arises: is repairing it worth the effort, or should repairs be balanced against the system’s age and the money better spent on replacing the old AC with a new one?
