3 Reasons to Call an Air Conditioning Contractor This Spring

With summer right around the corner, now is the perfect time to begin preparing your home for warmer weather. The air conditioning contractors at Bradley’s Plumbing & Heating say AC maintenance is one of the most important tasks that residents can add to their spring home care regimen.

Below, the staff explains three reasons to schedule AC repair and maintenance sooner rather than later:

1. Avoid the Summer Rush

Heating and air conditioning contractors are the busiest during the frigid winter and hot summer because these are the times customers depend on their units the most. If your AC unit breaks down during a summer heat wave, it may be several days until an air conditioning company can send out a technician for repairs. By scheduling preventative maintenance in the spring, it will be significantly easier to schedule an appointment at a time that works with your schedule. You’ll also be saving yourself the headache of an AC breakdown on a sweltering day.

2. Repair Problems Ahead of Time

It’s important to check your HVAC system each spring for any significant wear it may have sustained throughout the winter. The air conditioning contractor will inspect the unit and perform any necessary repairs. They’ll also let you know if anything needs to be replaced. If you need new parts or a new unit, you’ll have plenty of time to take care of it before summer.

3. Improve Energy Efficiency

Many homeowners pay more in energy costs during the winter and the summer. To some extent, this may be inevitable since the HVAC unit must work harder to control the temperature of your home during these times. However, there are measures you can take to ensure your air conditioning unit is working as efficiently as possible. An air conditioning contractor can advise you on upgrades or maintenance to keep your energy costs at a minimum.
