Here in Southwest Indiana, it’s common to run your AC system well into October, if not longer. That makes for a pretty long air conditioning season for your system to keep you as cool and comfortable as you like. Without the need for repair work, of course.
Well, on the premise that almost nothing in life is guaranteed, your AC system can’t come close to meeting your expectations without thorough and professional annual maintenance – the kind the trained personnel from Messmer Mechanical perform thousands of times each year.
But here’s the thing. The traditional time for maintenance – in the form of a tune-up and inspection – is the Spring. When that doesn’t happen – no matter what the reason – many homeowners just assume they need to wait another year. Not true!
Maintenance in the Fall is every bit as valuable, and for several very good reasons.
- Your system’s average lifespan is 12 – 15 years. Annual maintenance, spring or fall, is crucial to meeting that goal.
- If your system is still under warranty, waiting until the following spring may be too late to avoid having your warranty cancelled.
- One key goal of preventative maintenance is to keep your system repair free for as long as possible. Even if we do locate a situation that needs attention, attending to it sooner or later will likely prevent the problem from escalating and therefore save you money.
- Annual preventative maintenance also helps protect your family from electrical fire, mold and mildew build-up, and other potential hazards.
Bottom line, your AC system depends on annual preventative maintenance to run better, last longer, and help reduce your utility costs – regardless of whether that service is performed in the spring or fall. Has it been a year or longer since your AC system was last inspected? Then don’t wait – contact Messmer Mechanical today.
