As winter winds down and the temperatures in Fultondale, Homewood, and surrounding areas begin to rise, many homeowners look forward to open windows, gentle breezes, and all that milder springtime weather has in store. But as you know, spring doesn’t last long in Alabama. Before you know it you’ll be cranking the AC for relief from the heat and humidity. And that’s why now if the perfect time to schedule your annual AC system maintenance with Eagle Service Company.
Scheduling your AC system maintenance now—before the heat sets in—can save you significant headaches and ensure your home stays cool when you need it most.
Why It’s Not Too Early for AC Maintenance
While you might not be turning on your air conditioner every day just yet, getting a head start on your annual maintenance now is actually a smart move. Here’s why:
Avoid Mid-Summer Breakdowns
In the heat of a Birmingham summer, when the temperature regularly climbs into the high 80s and 90s, your AC will be working hard to keep your home cool. If it hasn’t been maintained properly, it’s more likely to experience issues when it’s under heavy strain. Common problems like clogged filters, refrigerant leaks, and dirty coils can prevent your system from functioning properly, leaving you sweltering in the heat while waiting for an emergency repair.
Take Advantage of Off-Peak Scheduling
Scheduling your AC maintenance before the summer rush means you may have more flexibility in choosing a convenient time for the service. You’re also more likely to get an appointment on short notice, as HVAC technicians’ schedules tend to fill up quickly once the summer heat kicks in and air conditioners begin breaking down.
Lower Energy Costs
During an annual inspection, an Eagle HVAC technician will clean filters, coils, and other components that might have gathered dust or debris over the year. A clean AC system is a more efficient one, which can save you money on your monthly energy bills. In addition, properly maintained systems experience less wear and tear, meaning they’ll use less energy to cool your home.
Extend the Life of Your AC System
Just like any major appliance, your air conditioning system has a limited lifespan. However, with regular maintenance, you can extend its life and avoid premature breakdowns and even system failure. Routine maintenance, such as checking for leaks, inspecting the compressor, and ensuring proper refrigerant levels, helps the system perform optimally and reduces the risk of major repairs.
Catch Problems Early
Annual service allows us to catch minor problems before they develop into costly repairs. By addressing small issues early, you can prevent more significant problems that could require expensive parts or even a full replacement.
