The cool weather is still not far off, and this can make it easy to assume that <a href=\"\/services\/air-conditioning\/air-conditioning-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioning repair in Conway, AR<\/a> is no longer a priority. The air conditioning system is going to run less and less until it goes on a short winter hiatus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it tempting to ignore seemingly \u201cminor\u201d troubles with an air conditioning system in the early fall. Odd noises, uneven cooling, temperatures that don\u2019t feel as comfortable \u2026 you might try to dismiss all these as something to deal with later, such as in the spring when it\u2019s time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/signs-your-air-conditioner-needs-immediate-repair\/\">air conditioner repair services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don\u2019t put off air conditioning repair like this! The time to call for repairs for an air conditioner is as soon as you notice the troubles. Here\u2019s why we never recommend delaying any professional repairs for your AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The weather can still get hot!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019re writing this, it\u2019s 95\u00b0F in Conway. You need your air conditioning system running in top condition to handle this sort of heat, and with all the strain it\u2019s already undergone, it can run into serious trouble in this late-season heat. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/3-main-reasons-your-ac-needs-repairs\/\">Risk of AC breakdown<\/a> is higher if your system already has issues. Repairs help keep you and your family safe from dangerous heat waves. We don\u2019t know what October can have in store; new heat waves can strike through the fall. If you have a faulty AC, you run a high risk of it breaking down completely at a time when you need it the most. Repairs help keep you and your family safe from dangerous heat waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Malfunctions raise operating costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take much of a malfunction in an air conditioning system to make it work harder. You may not notice a change in temperature, but the AC will put in more labor and run for longer to reach your expected thermostat settings. This will raise your energy bills through the fall. There\u2019s no reason to pay more to keep running a faulty AC when you could instead pay to get it fixed and keep those bills down (as well as make the AC more reliable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Repairs help an AC last longer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When an air conditioner must expend more energy to run because it has to overcome resistance from faulty parts, it will not only cost more to operate, it will wear down faster. If you let your AC continue to work without getting it repaired, it may cause the system to fail earlier. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/refrigerant-leaks-in-the-ac-why-theyre-bad-how-to-spot-them\/\">Refrigerant leaks and other damage<\/a> are common culprits behind early AC failure. A replacement done years too early is a costly \u201crepair\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Convenience in spring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you let your AC limp into winter when you finally shut it down, you might be in for a nasty surprise in the spring when it\u2019s time to get the air conditioner running again. It may not work at all! If it does work, it will <em>still<\/em> have that repair trouble, leaving you less time to scramble to get it fixed. It\u2019s just better not to procrastinate and instead have the AC repaired earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Dewees HVAC proudly serves the Conway area. <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Reach out to us today to handle any AC troubles you have\u2014we are here to keep you comfortable!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time to call for repairs for an air conditioner is as soon as you notice the troubles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[104,87],"class_list":["post-659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-repair","tag-conway"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1238,"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659\/revisions\/1238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dewees-hvac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
