But is it too late? Should you just skip it now that you\u2019re going to need your air conditioner on a daily basis soon? Well, no!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never too late to get your air conditioner tune-up. This is a prime example of \u201cit\u2019s better late than never,\u201d and there are a number of benefits to maintenance, as well as becoming a member of our maintenance program, which we\u2019ll share more details on below.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why it\u2019s Never Too Late for Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>Maintenance is something any air conditioning system needs to have done on an annual basis. In fact, if you have a year-round heat pump it should be done even more often than this\u2014twice a year. It matters more that you have your tune-ups done regularly than it does what <em>time <\/em>of the year you have it done. Why is this?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Summer Doesn\u2019t Take a Break: <\/strong>We may be known for our chilly winters, but our summers aren\u2019t exactly mild. Plus, heat waves have been known to surprise us during other times of the year. Maintenance ensures your air conditioner is always ready to deal with warmer temperatures, no matter how long they last or when they strike.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping Maintenance Means Spending More to Run Your AC:<\/strong> Generally speaking, every year that your air conditioner goes without maintenance, it loses about 5% of its efficiency, and the drop off will get steeper over time. You\u2019ll pay more for the times your air conditioner is running longer than it should have to because it\u2019s struggling to do its job.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You Can Avoid an AC System Breakdown: <\/strong>The most immediate reason for getting AC maintenance done on a regular basis is to prevent the system from suddenly shutting down on you during a baking hot day. There are plenty more of those ahead, and you want your AC system ready to get through each one of them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You\u2019ll Prevent Unnecessary Repairs:<\/strong> You don\u2019t need to start spending money you should be enjoying over summer on repairs for your air conditioner that you weren\u2019t expecting. Even a simple precaution of a tune-up, no matter what time of the year it happens, takes care of 80% of the repairs your air conditioner might need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Maintenance is never just a \u201cone and done\u201d service.
