Why is regular air-conditioning maintenance so important?
People sometimes have a hard-time understanding why air-conditioning system maintenance is so important - these people have likely never suffered the consequences of their air-con breaking in the middle of Summer.
In all seriousness, on top of problem prevention, there are a number of reasons why it’s absolutely crucial to keep your air-conditioning system in check. Usually what sparks someone to move consistent maintenance of their air-con system up on their priorities list, is when something goes wrong - but this can be timely and expensive, not what you want when it’s 40 degrees outside!
Air-conditioning servicing can seem tedious when there’s nothing seemingly wrong. That’s why we’ve outlined the top reasons why regular air-con maintenance is so important so you can save yourself time and energy in the long-run.
Life span
Extend the life of your current air-conditioning system by treating it like you would treat your car. To keep it in top running condition all year round, schedule regular maintenance checks with a professional. We recommend getting it serviced every six months to yearly so you know you’re kept cool/warm and breathing clean air through every season.
2. Air quality
Remember that the quality of the air you’re breathing in your home is the air directly filtered by your air-conditioning system. Avoid spreading germs through your home and putting your health at risk by regularly cleaning your filters. You can clean your filters yourself at home, but it’s highly recommended to get a professional to check them out so you know when it’s time to replace the filters all together - sometimes there’s only so much a DIY clean will do and it’s not worth risking the air you breathe.
3. Reduce energy consumption
Replacing an old, clogged air filter with a fresh, new one can reduce your energy consumption by 5 to 15 percent. This means not only will you be breathing clearer, you’ll reduce your energy bill. Wins all around!
4. Save money
While it may feel unnecessary in the present moment, paying for a preventive service can save you big bucks in the long run. Getting an entire air-conditioning system replaced is often far more expensive than consistent servicing, whether you have a ducted or split system. If something goes wrong and you catch it ahead of time, you’ll save yourself a big bill and a headache - and then regular servicing won’t seem so bad.
Regular maintenance ensures you and your family are always breathing the cleanest air, your aircon is less likely to fully breakdown on you when you need it most, and you’ll save yourself money by reducing your energy consumption. Don’t let aircon maintenance be something you wish you’d done in hindsight after something goes wrong.
