A central air conditioning system is a complex piece of machinery, but it’s also built tough. It’s designed to take on the wear and tear that collects over the years—to an extent. But some wear and tear is largely preventable, and only adds unnecessary strain to your AC.
Proper air conditioning maintenance is important, as we’ll show you in today’s guide. And it’s easier to have done than you may think—when you work with a qualified team of technicians. Learn how and why to keep your air conditioner in the best condition possible today.
Hopefully, you don’t have to purchase new large appliances for your home often. When you have the right appliance in your home, it should last you many years—over a decade in the best cases—and that means you might not have much experience picking out something like a central air conditioning system.
What Should Homeowners Know Before a Heating and Air Conditioning Installation?
Focus on long-term comfort, efficiency, and system performance—not just upfront cost
Choose systems with high SEER (cooling) and AFUE (heating) efficiency ratings
Ensure the unit is properly sized based on your home’s layout, insulation, and square footage
Have a professional perform a load calculation and inspect existing ductwork
Select equipment that balances capacity and energy savings
Hire licensed HVAC installers to maintain warranty and ensure safe, proper installation
