And the weather is \u2026 okay, it\u2019s still pretty cold outside, but it\u2019s warmer than it was. Highs in the 30s are better than sub-zero temperatures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even this slight warming is a reminder that the summer weather is approaching. Now that we\u2019re in the transitional period of spring, it\u2019s a good time to talk about scheduling your air conditioning maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut I had maintenance done last year!\u201d you say. Hey, that\u2019s great. Maintenance, however, is something you need to have done <em>every<\/em> year if you want to get the most out of your air conditioning system and enjoy it for the longest possible time. A proper maintenance regimen has numerous benefits and prevents a host of problems that would otherwise make cooling your house a serious and expensive chore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a reminder about why AC maintenance is such an important service, here are the benefits that come with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Reduce repairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s some hard truth: more than 50% of the repairs an air conditioning system will need during its service life are due to neglect. If you have annual professional maintenance done, you\u2019ll abolish more than <em>half<\/em> of the repairs you\u2019d otherwise have to pay for. This doesn\u2019t only save you money, it also gets rid of the inconvenience of having to call us for repairs while you sit in a boiling hot house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Save money on cooling costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An air conditioning system uses more electricity than almost any appliance in a house. (The only appliance that uses more is an electric water heater\u2014and you might not even have one of those.) You can expect to see larger electrical bills each summer as the AC runs. But those bills will be higher if you don\u2019t have spring maintenance. Each year the AC misses its maintenance appointment, it will lose 5% or more of its energy efficiency and drive up costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Avoid catastrophic breakdowns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to head into the summer feeling confident that your air conditioning system will get through the season without failing on you. You don\u2019t want to constantly fret that your AC will stop working when you need it the most. Maintenance is your best \u201cinsurance plan\u201d against this happening, as the tune-up our professionals do will help it work at its best through the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Increase equipment lifespan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance is a long-term benefit for an air conditioner, helping it to last for as long as possible. The average lifespan of an air conditioner that has maintenance is 10 to 15 years. Without maintenance, that lifespan can drop as low as 5 to 8 years. That\u2019s a lot of lost years of AC service!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>A warranty that\u2019s still in force<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your air conditioner is still under its warranty period (usually 10 years), maintenance makes sure that it doesn\u2019t get voided.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer a regular HVAC maintenance plan that includes both heating and <a href=\"\/service-areas\/eden-prairie-mn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air conditioning maintenance in Eden Prairie, MN<\/a>.
