It may seem too early to have air conditioning on the brain, especially here in Minnesota, but it’s not! Spring is just around the corner. We haven’t lost all hope that this snow will melt soon, and neither should you. Before you begin daydreaming about drinking on patios and sunbathing at the lake, it’s time to start thinking about air conditioning. Whether you need an AC tune-up or an AC replacement, Stafford Home Service Inc. is here to ensure you’re prepared for the first hot day of the year.
Tune It Up
Prepare for that first 80-degree day by planning an air conditioning tune-up. Scheduling preventative maintenance before the start of the cooling season will prevent expensive, unexpected repairs. It will also increase efficiency, which will save energy and money in the long run. An air conditioning tune-up will also improve your home’s indoor air quality and provide pristine comfort within your home during those thick, muggy Minnesota summers. Regular tune-ups will also extend the life of your HVAC system.
Face It, Replace It
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a central air conditioning system will last between 10 and 20 years. If your system is 10 years or older, it might be time for a replacement. A few signs that your air conditioning system may need an upgrade include:
- Costly and common repairs
- Constantly running system without it cooling down your home
- High energy bills
- Increases in indoor humidity levels or dust
If any of these are happening in your home, it may be time to replace your air conditioner. The good news is there have been major improvements in cooling technologies and materials that make air conditioning systems quieter and more energy efficient, all while reducing negative impacts on the environment. If you decide it’s time to replace your air conditioner, we will help you determine what system works best for your home, lifestyle, and your budget.
