We understand, you don\u2019t want to think about that quite yet. After all, it means your energy bills are going to spike again like they did during the winter. But what if we told you that you might be spending more than necessary to keep your house cool each summer?<\/p>\n<p>Even if your air conditioner is running \u201cjust fine,\u201d you can reduce your monthly bills. How? By scheduling a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonphc.com\/about\/membership-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air conditioning tune-up<\/a>, that\u2019s how! Keep reading as we go through the hows and whys of air conditioning maintenance. If you\u2019re still not convinced that air conditioning maintenance can save you money after that, contact our team and ask about our CCA Comfort Club Maintenance Plan. We\u2019ll share more details below!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Maintenance Improves System Efficiency<\/h2>\n<p>Routine air conditioning maintenance enables your cooling system to operate more efficiently, and produce cooled air using less energy. This is one reason that the evaporator coil and other internal components need to be thoroughly cleaned (which they will be during your maintenance session)\u2014to remove accumulated dirt and other debris.<\/p>\n<p>On this note, there is one small maintenance task that you can, and should, tackle on your own. That is changing your air filter. Many homeowners assume that the air filter is in place to protect their indoor air quality. But it actually keeps the interior components of the air conditioner from being pummeled with dirt, dust, and other debris. Your air filter should be changed every 1-3 months depending on what type of filter it is\u2014more instructions can be found on the filter packaging, but please feel free to ask us for more details!<\/p>\n<h2>Maintenance Leads to Fewer Costly Repairs<\/h2>\n<p>Most problems with cooling systems begin well before the homeowner notices them. For instance, it may not seem like a huge issue if your air conditioner seems to be dripping a little water. However, this can be a sign that your refrigerant is too low. Or, your cooling system may make strange noises on and off, which can indicate a component is loose or your motor bearings are wearing down.<\/p>\n<p>All these problems and more can be caught by a maintenance tune-up long <em>before <\/em>they start impacting the performance of your system.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintenance Helps Your AC Last Longer<\/h2>\n<p>When you deal with efficiency and potential repair issues, it helps your air conditioner perform better. When your air conditioner performs better, it can last longer! Of course, no cooling system will last forever\u2014the average lifespan of a well-cared-for air conditioner is about 12-15 years. But without maintenance, you can cut that by as much as <em>half. <\/em>This means you aren\u2019t paying for a whole brand new system years before you should need to.<\/p>\n<h3>Our CCA Comfort Club Maintenance Plan<\/h3>\n<p>This is our exclusive maintenance agreement program that affords our customers a number of additional monetary benefits outside what we mentioned above. For example, as a member you\u2019ll receive priority service, along with a 100% satisfaction guarantee\u2014your maintenance agreement can be canceled at any time for any reason, with any unused portion of your dues refunded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ambient Comfort is your trusted resource quality maintenance and <a href=\"\/service-areas\/egg-harbor-township-nj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AC repair in Egg Harbor Township<\/a>. <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> today! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if your air conditioner is running \u201cjust fine,\u201d you can reduce your monthly bills.
