Some experts will tell you that you should set your thermostats between 72 and 78 degrees during the summer months. Does that sound about right for your household
Whatever your personal comfort range might be, what happens when your indoor thermostat creeps up higher and higher, to the point where you can barely think straight because it’s too hot and uncomfortable? You turn on your AC system or adjust the thermostat to account for the increased heat, of course.
Well, that’s when your AC system works as it should. When it doesn’t engage at the touch of the thermostat, you suffer with the heat and humidity.
That’s why Messmer Mechanical strongly recommends annual AC preventive maintenance. It’s the best possible way to ensure you have the cool, comfortable indoor temperatures that help make summer living a pleasure.
Key Benefits of AC Preventive Maintenance Do
Air conditioning systems require ongoing care to ensure optimum performance. Otherwise, they are prone to fail, and often at the most inconvenient times. In addition to keeping your system in tip-top shape, an annual tune-up and inspection leads to:
- Longer equipment life
- Fewer and less costly repairs
- Added home and personal safety
- Cleaner indoor air
A well-running AC system also helps reduce indoor humidity. That, in turn, relieves you of a host of additional potential problems that excess indoor humidity can cause:
- Poor quality sleep
- The perfect environment for mold and mildew
- Damage to wood floors, furnishings, and instruments
- Damage to structural elements of your home
