With today being the first day of Summer, we can all expect some hot weather coming our way. So now is the time to organise an air conditioning service to ensure that your air conditioner is working when you need it. But what are the benefits of regular air conditioner servicing?
Air conditioner repairs vs servicing
Air conditioning customers generally fall into 2 different categories; reactive (repairs) and proactive (servicing).
Reactive customers - These customers run their air conditioners whenever they need them and hope that when they flick the switch, the air conditioner will fire up and do its' job. If it doesn't, then they madly try calling different air conditioning companies hoping they can find one that is available to come out and do a repair. The main problem here is that if it is a particularly hot day, you can guarantee there will be plenty of other reactive customers trying the same thing, so the air conditioning companies become booked up fast.
Proactive customers - These customers organise an air conditioning service at least annually and before they have a problem with their air conditioner. They understand that like a car if their air conditioner is regularly serviced, there is less chance it will break down when it is most needed.
Which one of these are you?
Benefits of air conditioner servicing
Prevent expensive air conditioner repairs
When your air conditioner is serviced, we not only test it to make sure there isn't something on the way out, but we also clean it. When an air conditioner is dirty, it needs to work harder and this can lead to breakdowns. Not to mention the number of times we find dead Geckos (and similar) on circuit boards etc with the possibility of causing a short circuit. As the old saying goes; 'a stitch in time saves nine'; by having your air con serviced you lessen the risk of a more expensive, avoidable breakdown.
Your air conditioner runs more efficiently
As above, by cleaning your air con we ensure it runs more efficiently. Not to mention if we replace small parts such as bearings that may be on the way out. By running more efficiently, your air con will also require less electricity to do the same job, so now you're saving money.
You get clean air
Now we're seeing a theme. By ensuring all your filters, fans and coils are clean we also ensure that the air flowing through isn't picking up bad allergens etc.
Your air conditioner lasts longer
Be ensuring your air con is clean and all the parts are in good working order, it will last longer. If it isn't running efficiently then the wear and tear will ensure that it doesn't last as long as it could.
Your air conditioner works when you need it
We've saved the best until last. After all, what is the point of having an air conditioner for hot days if it doesn't work when you experience a super hot day.
So be proactive!! If you haven't had an air conditioning service for over a year, get in touch and book a service .
