Now is the time to schedule that all-important AC maintenance.
I’m sure you know this by now. You’ve certainly heard it from me more than once already, but regular heating and AC maintenance is important. Why?
- It prevents unexpected breakdowns and unwanted costs in the future
- It helps your unit recover lost efficiency
- It helps your unit operate safely
- It increases the life of your unit
- It reduces operating costs
Bottom line, Blue Frost Heating & Cooling cares. That’s why we promote and encourage regular HVAC maintenance. Scheduling pre-season checkups is the best way to make sure your family isn’t left without cool air or heat when they need it. Regular maintenance keeps your systems working efficiently and reliably.
Maintenance Tip: Schedule AC maintenance in the spring when the calendar tells you it’s time to spring forward (was Sunday, March 13th). Schedule heating system maintenance in the fall when it’s time to fall back (on Sunday, November 6th). We start to get extremely busy as soon as spring arrives and then again in the fall. By the time summer and winter come, we are servicing customers left and right, because, hey, life happens, and we have scheduled maintenance jobs to honor, too! Make certain your cooling system is in top-notch condition before the sweltering July heat ravages your home. If you wait until the summer when you’re sweating buckets to schedule system maintenance, it’ll be too late. Hurry! Do it now. It’s easy to schedule AC maintenance. Just click here.
