Separating Fact from Fiction in Air Conditioning Maintenance

At Colman Heating & Air, we often encounter misconceptions about air conditioning maintenance. As a leading provider of professional air conditioning services in the greater Titusville area, we feel it’s our duty to set the record straight. Let’s debunk a common myth that could be costing you money and comfort.

Myth: You Only Need to Service Your AC When It Breaks Down

This is perhaps one of the most persistent myths in the HVAC industry. Many homeowners believe that their air conditioning system only requires attention when it stops working entirely. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Why This Myth is Harmful:

• Reduced Efficiency: Neglecting regular maintenance leads to decreased system efficiency, resulting in higher energy bills.
• Shortened Lifespan: Without proper care, your AC unit may fail prematurely, necessitating costly replacements.
• Unexpected Breakdowns: Regular maintenance can prevent sudden system failures, especially during peak summer months.
• Poor Air Quality: Lack of maintenance can lead to dirty filters and components, potentially affecting your indoor air quality.

The Truth:

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your air conditioning system. At Colman Heating & Air, we recommend annual tune-ups for residential systems and more frequent checks for commercial units.

During these maintenance visits, our certified technicians:

• Clean or replace filters
• Check refrigerant levels
• Inspect and clean coils
• Verify proper electrical connections
• Lubricate moving parts

By investing in regular maintenance, you’re not just avoiding breakdowns; you’re ensuring your system runs efficiently, saving you money on energy bills and extending the life of your unit.

Don’t fall for the myth that AC maintenance is only necessary when something goes wrong. Trust the experts at Colman Heating & Air to keep your system running smoothly year-round. Contact us today to schedule your next maintenance appointment and experience the difference professional care can make.
