The springtime weather is gorgeous, but you know it won\u2019t be long before the heat will be sweltering. You don\u2019t want to be caught unprepared! Get ready for the summer by scheduling your air conditioner maintenance now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How important is AC maintenance, you ask? Well, we\u2019re glad to have a chance to explain it to you! We\u2019ll tell you all about the air conditioner maintenance process and the many benefits you\u2019ll enjoy once you\u2019ve had it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Why Schedule AC Maintenance Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s already hot enough that you need to use your air conditioner. Get ahead of the curve and schedule your maintenance appointment right away. You\u2019ll be able to find a time that works well for you, and our calendar is more open, too. And once it\u2019s done, you can relax and enjoy the rest of the spring with no worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What AC Maintenance Includes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many individual steps on an AC maintenance technician\u2019s checklist, they\u2019re really performing four overall tasks on various parts of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Cleaning: <\/strong>Last year\u2019s dirt and grime will be cleaned away. Insulating sweaters of dust and pet hair will be removed. The condensate pan and drain will be washed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Lubricating: <\/strong>The moving parts within the air conditioner will be greased so they\u2019ll glide smoothly. This includes things like the fan and the bearings in the blower motor.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Inspecting: <\/strong>With all that cleaning done, your technician will have a clear view of all the components of your air conditioner. They\u2019ll make sure everything is in good condition, in the proper position and alignment. This includes inspecting the coils\u2014as much as 75 feet in length\u2014to make sure there are no weakened areas where refrigerant can leak through.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Testing: <\/strong>Air conditioners are electrical appliances. This means it has components that require testing, such as measuring the amperage of power that the motor is drawing, or testing the thermostat for proper calibration and recalibrating as needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Benefits of AC Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having this service performed every single year is the best possible investment you can make in your air conditioner. Here are the ways it will benefit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Peace of Mind: <\/strong>Knowing at the start of the season that your air conditioner is up and ready to go will be a weight off your mind. And since maintenance drastically reduces the need for AC repairs and the likelihood of sudden breakdowns, you\u2019ll be avoiding all that stress as well.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Repair Costs: <\/strong>When we said maintenance reduces the risk of your air conditioner requiring repairs, we meant by 85%! That\u2019s pretty incredible, and it means saving a lot of money on repairs you\u2019d otherwise need.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Efficiency: <\/strong>Another cost you can eliminate with maintenance is your energy use gradually increasing, which will happen if you don\u2019t have that AC unit professionally cleaned, lubricated, and tuned up.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Lifespan: <\/strong>With no maintenance ever, your air conditioner might only survive for 5-8 years. With annual maintenance, it can last twelve or more! Don\u2019t pay for a new air conditioner years before you should have to.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out to schedule <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/maintenance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioning maintenance in Mandeville, LA<\/a> or to ask any questions you may have about your AC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>When you need it done right, contact Professional Heating &amp; Air.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ll tell you all about the air conditioner maintenance process and the many benefits you\u2019ll enjoy once you\u2019ve had it done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[87,109],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2026"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2029,"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026\/revisions\/2029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
