WHAT IS AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE?
Air conditioning maintenance is a preventive A/C service that involves a thorough inspection and tune-up of your system.
Given that most people only call for HVAC service when something goes wrong, you may be wondering, “Do I really need air conditioning maintenance service?” Yes—you really do need A/C maintenance if you want to save money, stay comfortable, and enjoy some other benefits.
Air Conditioning Maintenance
A/C maintenance is needed to ensure your unit operates at peak efficiency. The air conditioning maintenance provided by Top Mechanical Service will ensure that your air conditioner will keep running properly when it has to be used. Our service technicians have over 30 years of experience in repairing and maintaining home air conditioning systems.
The benefit of having your air conditioner maintained is to keep your energy costs low. Your air conditioner needs periodical cleaning to keep its proper performance. These systems lose a percentage of their efficiently work every year. Good maintenance restores most air conditioning systems to over 93% efficiency. If a system is dirty, then it will work harder to cool the room. This can increase energy use and cause you to have a higher monthly energy bill. Scheduled air conditioning maintenance of your air conditioner will reduce expensive repair costs. Cleaning the unit and restoring it to peak efficiency will keep it running well into the future. An A/C unit that is running efficiently will not be working harder than normal to cool your home. This helps to keep it running longer.
