\"calendar-scheduling-book\"One of the most important jobs of a professional HVAC company in Highland, MI<\/a> is seeing that its customers have their cooling equipment inspected and tuned-up before the hot weather arrives. Although it\u2019s better to have maintenance done later than never, it\u2019s best<\/em> to have the service done during the spring.<\/p>\n

In other words, if you haven\u2019t scheduled maintenance for your home\u2019s air conditioning system yet, we urge you to call us now to arrange for it. We\u2019ll get you on the schedule for the most convenient appointment time.<\/p>\n

Maintenance is your best defense against summer equipment breakdowns<\/h3>\n

When is the most likely time for your home\u2019s air conditioner to abruptly fail? The hottest day of the summer! That\u2019s not just bad luck\u2014this is the time when the AC is under the most stress.<\/p>\n

You can always get our professionals to assist you with fixing a busted AC (or in a worst-case scenario, replace it). But maintenance helps you avoid having this problem in the first place. The tune-up and cleanings our professionals do during the maintenance visit remove most of the strain from the system, and the inspections will pinpoint repair opportunities so issues can be fixed at a convenient time\u2014i.e. before the hottest day of the year!<\/p>\n

Maintenance saves you money each day the AC runs<\/h3>\n

Whenever any piece of equipment is operating, it will pick up wear and tear. As this accumulates, it reduces the efficiency of the equipment, so it costs more to run. You can expect your residential cooling system to run at 5% less efficiency each year if it misses maintenance. Each time you have the AC on, you\u2019ll be paying more for the electricity to run it\u2014and in a few years, you could be shelling out 25% more! Thanks to maintenance, you can expect your AC to keep almost all its original efficiency rating through its service life.<\/p>\n

Maintenance keeps your AC working for years<\/h3>\n

A neglected air conditioner is a short-lived air conditioner. The average lifespan of a residential AC system is 10\u201315 years. If it skips maintenance, that lifespan estimate can drop to half! You don\u2019t want to get caught paying to replace an air conditioner after only eight years of service when you could have gotten fifteen out of it. Not only does maintenance extend equipment life, it also keeps the AC\u2019s warranty in place.<\/p>\n
