How Frequently Should AC Maintenance Be Performed?
While air conditioner maintenance is typically conducted on an annual basis, a variety of factors may call for more regular tune-ups and inspections.
Age Of The AC System
Older units often require more frequent maintenance. If your air conditioner is over a decade old, ask your HVAC technician about scheduling more regular maintenance appointments.
Local Climate
Air conditioners that are exposed to extreme temperatures and high humidity levels are often run more frequently. Additional maintenance can compensate for this excessive usage.
Pets
Pet owners are no stranger to fur, hair, and pet dander, which can clog AC units and impact system performance. If you own a dog, cat, or other furry creature, you might need to schedule frequent maintenance.
Asthma And Allergies
Regular air conditioner maintenance improves air quality and reduces indoor pollen counts. As such, those with asthma, seasonal allergies, or respiratory disorders may benefit from frequent system clean-outs.
