With warmer weather settling in, many of us are opening our windows and tilling our gardens. We’re cleaning our closets and some overachievers are even cleaning behind the refrigerator.
There is something about spring that makes it a season of preparation as we make room for all that summer has to offer.
Looking around our home, it’s easy to spot a number of projects we’ve been putting off. Silently sitting behind it all is our HVAC system. The heating half of the system has been diligently keeping you and your family from freezing all winter long. Meanwhile, the dormant cooling system is about to kick in to help you survive the summer.
Here in the Midwest, summers get hot and humid. Your air conditioner is the unsung hero of the season. As long as it is working, most give their HVAC system little thought. But if something were to happen during those hot summer months, it is definitely an emergency. Without the constant circulation of your air conditioner in summer, it’s nearly impossible to cool your home.
During the summer, demand for HVAC servicing is high. Most people don’t turn on their air conditioner until they need it – so the second it doesn’t work, it’s a problem. The problem gets even worse if the part needed to fix the issue has to be ordered, delaying the repair of your system until it is received.
That’s why we recommend having your system serviced in the spring. Generally, the system is still not a necessity, so performing maintenance or waiting for parts isn’t a big deal.
In contrast, if the cooling system is out of commission when you need it most, the house gets hot, fast. A hot house generally makes for a frustrated family. High demand on professionals and high demand from your family means you’re caught between a rock and a hard place.
The cooling system in your home is made up of a number of parts. The system itself typically lasts 15 years, but parts of the system may have a decreased life if they are not properly maintained. If your system has been acting up or if you haven’t had it serviced in a few years, now may be the time to do so.
Periodic testing and servicing can help give you peace of mind that your cooling system is ready to tackle the tough temperatures ahead.
