3 Ways To Avoid AC Repairs This Summer

They're Here! 110 degree plus temperatures that is. In hopes of helping you save money and time, here are some insider secrets to avoiding the dreaded Valley of the Sun AC downtime. 

Routine Maintenance; For Your AC Unit
Unless you have been routinely maintaining your AC system it could fail when you need it most. The number one secret to avoiding costly air conditioning repairs is to have routine maintenance performed on your system. At a minimum your cooling system should be checked annually. While these inspections (Think AC tune up) should only be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor, they are very important to have completed on a regular basis. Manufacturers advise routine annual maintenance regardless of system age or performance; some even require the owner to produce evidence of routine maintenance to qualify for warranties on failed parts. 

Clean Air Flow Means the Difference of Life Or Death For Your System
"Change your filters regularly." Hauntingly familiar, like what the dentist says about flossing. If you don't work on air conditioners every day, it's easy to forget and can be as bothersome as any other routine house chore. Find filter replacements, find a screwdriver, find a ladder, etc. Especially if this is a once-a-month requirement. Some newer units use thicker, 5 inch filters which only require changing every 6-8 months. The key here is to change it (or have it changed) according to manufacturer specifications. If it is a one month filter, change it regularly to avoid air conditioning repairs later on. Your AC system will work more efficiently (cheaper for you and less break-downs), and your indoor air quality will improve too. 

Knowledge & Experience Your First Line Of Defense
When you do have AC Maintenance or repairs performed, make sure the service tech has 'the right stuff'. The contractor's reputation and warranty policies say a lot. 

Get a quoted price before they begin any work. Make sure the contractor is licensed to work in the State of Arizona. Ask how much experience they have. Ask about the company's guarantees, discounts, or special offers. 

This could save you some time and headache later on, further hassle on repeat trips if not fixed correctly the first time, or at least a few dollars you can keep in your wallet!
