\"time-service-clock\"It\u2019s not yet officially spring. That doesn\u2019t happen until the third week of March. But Florida weather is Florida weather, and we have to be ready for hot spells at almost any time, and the season for air conditioning seems to start earlier each year. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve used your AC a few times during the last couple of months, which is when people in many other parts of the country have their furnaces going full-blast through the day to fend off below-freezing temperatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What we\u2019re getting at is that now is a time to plan for your regular air conditioning maintenance to get ready for the coming hot weather.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Really? Do I need to do this every year?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We know that it feels annoying to schedule just one more thing on your calendar. You may look at your AC and think: \u201cIt\u2019s done fine for me all last year, doesn\u2019t have any trouble, and I never needed to get repairs for it. Why not just skip a year?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We must stress that\u2014especially in Florida\u2014annual AC maintenance is a must. Our air conditioners go through a serious gauntlet of heat and humidity every year, much more so than the majority of the country. Your AC accumulates many days of wear and tear through the middle of the year. Just consider how often you have the cooling system running during the summer and you\u2019ll start to see what kind of stress gets put on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the AC hasn\u2019t given you problems last year, that\u2019s probably because you had it maintained in early spring. The \u201ctrouble-free AC\u201d is your reward for keeping up with professional inspections and tune-ups. Although maintenance can\u2019t stop all needs for <\/span>air conditioning repair in Alachua, FL<\/span><\/a>, it still prevents <\/span>most<\/span><\/i>. It also helps to ensure the highest cooling capacity for the air conditioner, stops a rise in the cost to run it as it wears down, and gives it a longer service life. If you want your AC to continue to serve you as well as it has, you have to continue to look out for it with professional maintenance each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, but can I wait until later in spring?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Yes, you can. There isn\u2019t an \u201cexpiration date\u201d for air conditioning maintenance: it needs to be done each year. Many people choose to get their AC maintenance in March, April, or May, and these are all good times to schedule it. The main concern is beating the arrival of the hottest time of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

But<\/span><\/i> \u2026 we do recommend getting the service completed at your earliest convenience because 1) you\u2019re less likely to forget about it later on, and 2) you\u2019ll receive greater benefits from the service if you do it before the first rise in heat. You know that major heatwaves can strike before the summer starts, so getting your AC tuned-up and inspected before the first spring heat fling is smart preparation. You also want to leave yourself enough of a buffer to have any necessary repairs done if the technicians uncover something that requires attention.<\/span><\/p>\n
