We&#8217;ve got some cooler, more mild temperatures on their way this winter, which means you&#8217;ll want your air conditioner to be maintained and in good shape for next summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be achieved with routine maintenance which we recommend each and every one on of our customers purchases. But we don&#8217;t expect you to just purchase maintenance with a recommendation from the team that provides it! That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ll go into detail today as to why maintenance is such an effective service and why now is the best time for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might sound like a sales pitch, but it&#8217;s absolutely not one. The benefits of <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/maintenance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AC maintenance in Alachua<\/a> are supported by cold hard facts, and we&#8217;d rather treat this like a PSA than the selling of a service to our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Why Schedule Maintenance at All?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does maintenance actually do? It&#8217;s a good question, and one we&#8217;ll just get right to answering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maintenance allows our technicians to make minor adjustments, repairs, and even replace small components that could be failing. <\/strong>We can give customers warnings if there&#8217;s a problem that&#8217;s getting worse. We can even lubricate ball bearings, tighten screws, and inspect the whole system to ensure it&#8217;s working as well as it can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might not sound like that important of a job, but for the cost of maintenance when compared to the cost of repairs, it easily pays for itself over time. A well-maintained AC unit is less likely to run into serious issues than a system that&#8217;s been neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Seasonal Maintenance: The Best Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why not just get maintenance during the hottest point of the summer? Why wait until fall or spring?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s simple. Most of our customers are running their air conditioners on full blast during the summer, meaning we&#8217;re swamped with repair calls and our schedule is very tight. Fall, on the other hand, is relatively light, and it allows us to schedule a much more convenient appointment. Since maintenance isn&#8217;t an urgent need like a repair is, we can work with you to find the best and easiest time to get your system maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Maintaining Your Heat Pump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Different systems require maintenance for different reasons. A furnace, for instance, requires maintenance mostly for cleaning and a safety inspection to ensure that your system isn&#8217;t leaking gas or carbon monoxide. A central air conditioner needs maintenance so that it can last its full 10\u201315 year lifespan and start working next summer to the best of its ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat pumps are different because they work year-round and can both heat and cool your home. This means they need the same assistance that a central air conditioner would, but at twice the rate. This is why we recommend customers invest in heat pump maintenance <strong>twice a year<\/strong>, treating it like both a heating and cooling system so it works as efficiently and effectively as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can get your heat pump maintained at this regular rate, you&#8217;ll also likely deal with fewer repair issues over the course of its lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule maintenance today with North Central Florida Air Conditioning.<\/a> <em>Improving Lives by Improving Homes!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This might not sound like that important of a job, but for the cost of maintenance when compared to the cost of repairs, it easily pays for itself over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[38,118],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1142"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1145,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142\/revisions\/1145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
