Best Time to Get Your Air Conditioner or Heating System Serviced.

Posted by Comfortablehome on 06/28/2011

The Spring and Fall are the Best Times to Contact Comfortable Home Systems.

Before the Summer and Winter Months are without a doubt the best time of the year to contact Comfortable Home Systems to service and maintain your air conditioning systems.

Why? Proper preventative maintenance will not only save you money but it will provide the assurance that when the temperatures get really hot or really cold outside, your unit will work efficiently to keep you and your family comfortable in your home.

In April and May, the wind, dust & pollen are usually at its highest levels.  It is during this time that your outdoor unit, in particularly the compressor inside of it, works hard to collect all of that dust in and around it.  The compressor helps pump refrigerant through your system so you can enjoy the cool and comfortable temperatures in your home.  Also, when the coils that enclose the compressor get filled with dirt and/or debris, it can cause your compressor to falter or even fail.  Having your system checked twice a year by a professionally trained service technician can help prevent replacing your unit.

The technicians at Comfortable Home Systems will clean-out the outdoor coils and eliminate any debris that happens to be around the unit.

It’s remarkable how often air conditioning and heating systems fail at the most challenging times.  But the truth is… there is never a good time for your unit to fail.  That’s why it’s important to service the unit on your time instead of fixing it on your technician’s time.  Air conditioning and heating systems are not unlike any other product, the best way to maintain its efficiency and to maximize its life expectancy is to take excellent care of it.  Don’t wait too long because inevitably your unit will fail when you’re having a party, or your spouse is out of town, or when your children are home sick.  It’s getting hotter outside!

Don’t wait til it’s too late.  Get your air conditioning system serviced today.  Schedule your air conditioning maintenance by calling 780-458-0706 or contacting us online.
