April (and even May and June) can still contain cold weather surprises, but the AC in a home needs to be prepared for the steady heat that will soon settle in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take several steps to help maintain your home\u2019s central air conditioning system, such as changing the HVAC air filter, making sure room vents are unobstructed, and cleaning the outdoor cabinet and clearing the area around it. But you\u2019ll also need our help\u2014professional <\/span><a href=\"\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">air conditioning maintenance in Flushing, MI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the best way to ensure you have an AC that\u2019s \u201carmored up\u201d for the summer heat. A regularly maintained AC will also save you money in multiple ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why You Want to Schedule Annual AC Maintenance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional maintenance consists of an extensive tune-up and inspection for your air conditioning system. It takes one to two hours for our technicians to complete, and the rewards are immense. When you have maintenance done each year, you can expect to enjoy these benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Longer system life: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An air conditioner will only make it to its estimated service life (10 to 15 years for most units) with regular maintenance. Missing maintenance will start to take years of its service life, leading to an expensive early replacement.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reliable summer performance:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who wants to have their home\u2019s AC fail on them during one of the hottest days of the year? The cleanings and adjustments done during maintenance will help an air conditioner run at its most reliable. Maintenance also catches potential problems early enough so our technicians can fix them before they cause the AC to suddenly stop working.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fewer repairs:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that the majority of repairs an air conditioner may require over its service life happen because of maintenance neglect? When you keep up with maintenance, you\u2019ll wipe away more than 50% of future repairs. That\u2019s plenty of money and time saved.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower operating costs:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wear and tear placed on an air conditioner year after year will cause it to lose energy efficiency. As this efficiency drops, the cost to operate the AC rises. Maintenance slows down this deterioration so an air conditioner will cost much less to run until the end of its service life.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranty protection:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most air conditioners\u2019 warranties will only stay in force with proof of regular maintenance. You don\u2019t want to lose this important protection against having to pay to repair factory faults.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Maintenance Is One of the Most Important Services We Offer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope we\u2019ve explained why AC maintenance is such a vital service!
