The season for regular maintenance has come and gone, and if you didn\u2019t get it scheduled because life got too busy in spring, well you\u2019ll just have to wait until next year. The expiration date has passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>But that\u2019s not how maintenance works!<\/em><\/strong> Yes, spring is the ideal time to call a <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Tampa, FL air conditioning company<\/a> to arrange for a maintenance inspection and tune-up for your air conditioner. But it\u2019s not a terminal point. We\u2019re happy to tell you that it\u2019s not too late to schedule your air conditioning maintenance through our VIP Club membership. It\u2019s important that the air conditioning maintenance gets done each year, and if it happens late, it\u2019s far better than never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skipping Maintenance Has Major Consequences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to stress how important annual maintenance service\nis for your AC. It\u2019s not only to prepare it for the summer season\u2014although that\nplays a big part. It\u2019s also for long-term benefits and to prevent serious\nproblems in the future. Any future, not just this immediate summer. Below are\nsome of the negative consequences you might face if you miss annual AC\nmaintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Voided warranty: <\/strong>We\u2019ll put this one up front because homeowners aren\u2019t often aware of this. The warranty that covers parts and labor for your AC in case of a factory fault may be voided if the system receives insufficient professional maintenance. Skipping a year can end up putting the warranty into the trash, and you\u2019ll be stuck paying for a repair that the warranty would\u2019ve covered.<\/li><li><strong>Increased operational costs:<\/strong> Would you like to pay 5% more on your cooling bills this summer? With an additional 5% increase next summer? Of course not. But that\u2019s what you\u2019ll be looking at if the air conditioner is allowed to wear down and get dirtier over the summer without maintenance. <\/li><li><strong>More repairs:<\/strong> The majority of repairs are preventable with maintenance. Inspections alone can catch many repair problems before they become problems. Stopping most repairs means saving money as well as greater convenience and peace of mind.<\/li><li><strong>Longer system life:<\/strong> The average AC system life is 10 to 15 years. Most systems can reach 15 years without problems\u2014provided they have regular maintenance. You\u2019ll shave off years of the life of the air conditioning system if you skip maintenance, and that means an expensive replacement years too early.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining our maintenance plan will set you up with the necessary\nmaintenance for your AC every year, as well as additional benefits: a 20%\ndiscount on repairs, no overtime\/after-hours fees, and priority service.
