During a summer day here in Montgomery County, there’s no better relief from Ohio’s hot and muggy heat than our nice and comfy air-conditioned homes. But what happens when that cool refuge gets threatened by the heat because our AC system quits working all of a sudden?

It’s all-too-common when this sort of thing happens for homeowners to think back to the spring and wish they’d have gotten preventative maintenance performed. If they had gotten it, chances are good that an emergency AC repair job like this wouldn’t even be necessary.

Getting your home cooling system tuned up, inspected, and cleaned by a certified technician at least once a year keeps it in top-notch shape, paving the way for a whole host of benefits that save you money, time, and headaches. Standard preventative AC system maintenance is an extremely quick, easy, and affordable way to make sure your air conditioning system operates at its peak efficiency. The same goes for heat pumps and any other HVAC system.

In this blog, we at Five Star Heating & Cooling Dayton discuss three of the top benefits of standard preventive AC system maintenance.

1.) Money Savings

When your AC system isn’t functioning properly, it will consume a lot more energy than if it was running normally. And there are a variety of reasons why an AC system might not be operating properly. To circumvent many of these problems, we strongly suggest regular preventative Air Conditioner maintenance to reduce the strain on your expensive home cooling system. This will save you money, stress, time, and energy. Reaching out to our team to perform said maintenance will also allow us to catch any minor issues before they snowball into bigger problems and breakdowns that necessitate expensive repairs. An example of this is your home’s air filter. If you change your air filter frequently, you prevent dust, dirt, and other small particles from accumulating and hindering the airflow going through your system. Your AC unit will perform better as a result. However, failing to replace that filter, combined with the lack of recommended AC system maintenance, allows those particles to build up and prevent free airflow, which diminishes the system’s cooling function.

2.) Guaranteed Comfort

As part of any standard preventative maintenance visit, one of our highly-qualified friendly technicians rigorously inspects all the parts and areas of your cooling system. We are quick to recognize any defects or problems that might become of concern. With your system performing at its best, you and your loved ones will have all the comfort you desire at home. You will avert, as our customers do, the snares of surprise breakdowns at the worst possible times. You will enjoy peace of mind knowing it always pays off in dividends to be proactive with your home cooling system, rather than reactive.

3.) Improved Indoor Air Quality

Because our friendly technicians are highly-skilled and trained on all types of AC systems, they clean out all the dirt, dust, and other small particles that gather inside of your unit each season. When this stuff builds up from one season to the next, it travels into your air duct system. Once it’s inside there, it begins to circulate in the air throughout your residence. If this is left like this, it won’t be long until you need an air duct cleaning or other expenditures. In fact, it won’t be long until you or your loved ones begin to suffer the consequences of inferior indoor air quality.
