Realistically, your residential air conditioning unit should be serviced at least once a year to ensure that it is running at its peak performance. At Quality Air Conditioning Company, we highly recommend annual residential air conditioning maintenance to identify, correct, and prevent any issues with your residential air conditioning unit. It is best to schedule a system review in the springtime, before the temperatures start to rise in the summer. Many professionals say that, generally speaking, an air conditioning system should last between 15 and 20 years.
However, in Florida, as in other hot and humid coastal areas, air conditioning units tend to last approximately 5 to 7 years less than in other states due to the tropical humidity, constant use, and salt, sulfur, and other natural chemicals in the air. This brings the average lifespan of an air conditioning system in Florida closer to 8 to 14 years. Nevertheless, this may vary depending on where you live and how well you take care of and maintain your system. As an expert in HVAC maintenance, I can tell you that it is essential to keep your air conditioning system running smoothly and efficiently.
Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your system is working properly and that it will last for many years. To ensure that your system is running optimally, it is important to have it serviced at least once a year. This will help identify any potential problems before they become major issues. In addition to annual maintenance visits, there are other ways to keep your HVAC system running smoothly.
For example, you can regularly check the filters and replace them when necessary. You should also make sure that all vents are clear of debris and dust. Additionally, you should inspect the outdoor unit for any signs of damage or wear and tear. With a maintenance plan membership, you pay a small monthly fee to reduce the cost of HVAC maintenance services and keep your equipment in good condition.
If you notice any changes that affect your air conditioner or other parts of your air conditioning system, it may be worth scheduling more frequent maintenance visits or devoting more attention to your own maintenance and upkeep tasks. In conclusion, regular HVAC maintenance is essential for keeping your air conditioning system running efficiently and effectively. It is important to have your system serviced at least once a year by a professional technician. Additionally, you should regularly check the filters and inspect the outdoor unit for any signs of damage or wear and tear.
