Debunking the Myth: AC Units Don’t Need Regular Maintenance

The Truth About Air Conditioning Maintenance

At Perfection Contracting, we often hear homeowners say they don’t need to maintain their AC units regularly. This is a dangerous myth that can lead to costly repairs and reduced efficiency. Let’s explore why regular maintenance is crucial for your air conditioning system.

The Myth

Many people believe that once an air conditioner is installed, it will continue to function perfectly without any attention. They assume that as long as cool air is coming out, everything is fine.

The Reality

The truth is, regular maintenance is essential for several reasons:

  • Improved efficiency: A well-maintained AC unit uses less energy, saving you money on utility bills.
  • Extended lifespan: Regular servicing can help your air conditioner last longer, delaying the need for replacement.
  • Better air quality: Clean filters and coils mean cleaner air in your home.
  • Fewer breakdowns: Routine checks can catch small issues before they become major problems.

What Perfection Contracting Recommends

We advise our customers in Sparta, Newton, Hampton Township, Franklin, Stillwater, and Lafayette, NJ, to schedule AC service at least once a year. This typically includes:

1. Checking refrigerant levels
2. Cleaning or replacing filters
3. Inspecting and cleaning coils
4. Checking electrical connections
