Heating and cooling experts say central air-conditioning systems should be serviced annually to remove dirt, change filters and check the level of Freon, a refrigerant. The typical central air-conditioning system lasts 12 to 15 years, but regular service maintenance can add three to four years to its life. It’s like changing the oil in your car or getting your teeth cleaned.
Temperatures are still cold in some regions—making it the perfect time to service your air conditioner.
Many companies run “early-bird specials” in March and April, but typically boost their rates in May as temperatures rise.
Cooper Climate Control Heating & Air Conditioning 16 point inspection is $59.95 March & April and $69.95 in May – July.
Even if you live in a climate that’s warm year round like we do, service a system now to avoid repairs when it’s the hottest—and prices are at their highest.
With wall and window units, ask in advance about the price of service calls, labor and any parts. In some cases, it may be cheaper to replace the air conditioner altogether—especially for smaller window units.
When picking a servicer, ask for references, read online reviews, and ask exactly what you get for the quoted price.
A caveat: Be aware of the temperature when you get the service. Running an AC unit without a low-pressure cutoff switch when it’s colder than about 60 degrees might damage it. So what are you waiting for? Call Cooper Climate Control Heating & Air Conditioning to get your service done today!
