Do Air Conditioners need servicing?

You get your car serviced don't you? Well an Air Conditioner is not a car, but it does require some servicing to keep it running at peak efficiency and avoid nuisance breakdowns! Picture this, it’s that time of year again and the heat is creeping in; before you know it, your air conditioner will be your new best friend. You’re probably all set to press that button and chill out. But wait! When was the last time you had your AC serviced? “Oh, it’s working just fine,” you might say. But did you know that a yearly inspection & service can actually save you money, improve your air quality and even extend the life of your air conditioner? Want to know more? Let’s go through the nitty-gritty of why you need to book that inspection, like, yesterday.

Maximising Energy Efficiency: How Annual Inspections Make Your AC More Economical

You’re conscientious about turning off lights when you leave the room and unplugging electronics, but have you considered your AC’s efficiency? A yearly inspection can help you maximise energy efficiency by ensuring your unit’s coils, fins and filters are in top-notch condition. Clogged and dirty components make your system work harder, thereby costing you more on your energy bills. A professional inspection & service can fine-tune your unit so it runs smoothly, using less energy to cool your space. Think of it as giving your AC a spring clean that leaves it as fresh as a daisy with 'as new' efficiency!

Improving Air Quality: The Hidden Benefits of Regular AC Check-ups

• Your AC isn’t just pumping out cold air; it’s also responsible for the air quality in your home. Dust, allergens, and pollutants can lurk in the filters, coils, and ducts, reducing the quality of the air you are breathing significantly. An annual inspection involves checking and cleaning the air filters, evaporator and condenser coils, which in turn improves air quality. This is especially crucial if you have kids, elderly family members, or anyone with allergies, or respiratory issues. Think of it as a wellness check-up, but for your home! Mackies also have self cleaning AC's available that automatically keep the coils clean all by themselves.

Enhancing Longevity: Why Annual Maintenance Adds Years to Your AC’s Life

Much like how regular maintenance on your motor vehicle keeps it operating smoothly, annual inspections can add years to your AC unit’s life. Preventative maintenance helps you get the most out of your AC investment. The technician will check operation, clean filters and drains, check gas charge, tighten electrical connections and check for any wear and tear. All these tasks extend the life of your AC, ensuring it serves you well for years to come.

Spotting Problems Early: The Importance of Preventative Maintenance

Imagine you’re about to host the social event of the season, or it's Christmas day with all of your extended family visiting and your AC decides to take a nap. Disaster, right? Regular inspections can help you avoid such catastrophic failures by spotting issues before they escalate into major problems. Preventative maintenance is like having a guardian angel for your AC, keeping it from falling into the dreaded ‘repair or replace’ category.

Cost Savings: How Regular Inspections Can Help You Avoid Expensive Repairs

While it’s easy to ignore your AC when it’s working fine, as time goes on you’re essentially rolling the dice on a potential major repair. Yearly inspections can pinpoint minor issues that, if ignored, can result in a substantial blow to your wallet if left unatended. Investing in regular check-ups is like to buying insurance for your AC, saving you from any unexpected financial headaches.

As you can see Mackies advise that an annual AC inspection is essential. Not only does it maximise energy efficiency, improve air quality and enhance longevity, but it also helps you spot problems early and save money in the long run.
