Your air conditioning and heating system works hard to perform their functions for your home every day. The continual operation can wear down any machine if the proper care and maintenance is delayed. However, by performing regular maintenance, you can maximize the lifecycle of your air conditioning and heating unit and protect it against many common equipment failures. Preventative maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires and corroded electrical contacts that the naked eye may not notice. You should have maintenance done on your system at least twice a year to ensure maximum efficiency and prevent possible problems that may occur in the future.
