But we\u2019re already in the middle of February, and we can expect to see warmer weather starting next month, when spring officially begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the HVAC world, that means it\u2019s time to start thinking about scheduling maintenance for your home\u2019s air conditioning system. It came up fast, didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It certainly seems like it, but that\u2019s one of the reasons we always remind our customers about this job\u2014sometimes people let it slip by them until the hot weather has already arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yes, AC Maintenance Is a Yearly Job<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut I just had maintenance last year!\u201d If that\u2019s true, we think that\u2019s great news. You probably had a trouble-free summer with your AC because of that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But maintenance is truly an annual service. Skipping a year here and there can mean problems. After all, consider how much work your air conditioner does each summer in our hot and humid weather. It\u2019s a lot like taking a car for a cross-country trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t want to have the car make a second trip like that without at least routine maintenance, would you? No, and you shouldn\u2019t want to take your AC for a long summer \u201cdrive\u201d without it getting a regular tune-up and inspection from the pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why You Don\u2019t Want to Miss Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the worst that could happen if you don\u2019t have your AC maintained? We can tell you: an air conditioner that permanently breaks down during one of the hottest days of the year, leaving you stuck in the heat until you can arrange for a full AC system replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t a rare occurrence. An air conditioner that isn\u2019t regularly maintained will age faster, and when it\u2019s put under the most stress, such as a hot summer day, it\u2019s much more likely to break down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of maintenance increases the chance the breakdown will be a permanent one, since all the accumulated wear and tear lowers the life expectancy of an AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting regular maintenance is an important investment in your HVAC equipment: it will last much longer and work reliably thanks to this annual service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peace of mind you\u2019ll enjoy is worth it alone. Who wants to spend the summer concerned that the next time they need to run the AC it won\u2019t work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Maintenance Saves You Money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping up with maintenance helps you save money, and not just by avoiding an early system replacement (although that is a big savings). Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent the majority of needs for <a href=\"\/services\/air-conditioning\/air-conditioning-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HVAC repair in Little Rock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also keeps the AC working at the highest possible energy efficiency. You can expect your air conditioner to cost more and more to operate each year it misses maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regular maintenance, you\u2019ll only see a small increase in your bills over most of the system\u2019s service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Dewees HVAC proudly serves the Conway area. <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Talk to our team today to get on the schedule for a convenient air conditioning maintenance appointment.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maintenance is truly an annual service.
