Your air conditioner should last anywhere from 10-20 years, depending on when you bought it. However, without regular maintenance, it may not make it that far. Investing in AC maintenance service in St. Charles, MD once a year can extend its lifespan. It might even be able to lower your energy bills. At Southern Pride Service, we’re proud to offer customer-centric air conditioning maintenance services.

Why Get Air Conditioning Maintenance?

You should generally take care of a few light maintenance tasks for your AC system on your own. We leave changing AC filters to you, for instance. That should happen every one to three months as needed. A good rule of thumb is to change your filter when you can no longer see through it.

Similarly, keep your outdoor unit clean and clear of debris. Ideally, you’d have more than a foot of free space on each side. Should leaves, grass, or other outdoor items encroach on the unit, it can prevent it from doing its job well. That would cause your AC to strain, which both raises your energy bill and puts excess wear on the system. Keeping the area around it clear is an easy way to maintain your system on your own.

Leave other maintenance tasks to the professionals. The best time of year to invest in AC maintenance service is during springtime. Technicians won’t have to contend with the Maryland snow, for one thing. For another, we’ll make sure your AC works well before the humid summertime hits and you need it most.

During an air conditioning maintenance appointment, one of our technicians will inspect your system top to bottom. We’ll make recommendations about things you can do to optimize your system. This might include moving furniture away from vents, opening vents, tips on how to use your thermostat, and so on.

We’ll also verify the state your system is in and recommend any repairs. By catching issues before they become problems, you can head off more expensive repairs. By keeping your system in good condition, you’ll reduce strain on it. That will translate to a longer overall lifespan for your system.

During an air conditioning maintenance appointment, we’ll check the following and more.

Capacitors

Air handlers

Condenser

Compressor

Ductwork exterior

Crucially, AC maintenance service can keep your system’s warranty intact. Each system generally comes with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers parts. This can come in handy should one of the components fail unexpectedly through no fault of your own. You might not realize, though, that your warranty has terms you need to fulfill. More specifically, the majority of AC warranties require you to have a professional service your AC regularly. Neglecting to do so (or neglecting to keep record of it) will void your warranty. That could leave you unexpectedly paying for repairs or even a full replacement. Instead of worrying about warranty terms, let Southern Pride Service maintain your system for you.
