Air Conditioning Maintenance in Surf City, NC

Keep Your AC Running Smoothly With Regular Maintenance

Any piece of complex equipment that runs regularly will need maintenance. Think of how much you depend on your air conditioner during a Surf City, NC summer. You probably have it running on most days, sometimes for several hours. All that work places strain on the components, wears down motors, risks refrigerant leaks, and more. Time isn’t kind to AC parts, either.

This is where maintenance steps in. Think of it like an annual doctor’s visit for your air conditioning system. Our professionals inspect and tune up the AC, and for the summer ahead it will work reliably, with little chance of a malfunction shutting down your cooling. We recommend getting this job done every spring so you can have peace of mind all summer.

Preventive Air Conditioning Maintenance in Surf City

Regular air conditioning maintenance helps to prevent the majority of repairs you might otherwise need to pay for over the AC’s service life. Yes, more than 50% of AC repairs occur because of lack of maintenance! Here’s only a few of the troubles an annual AC tune-up can prevent:

• Burnt-out motors
• Extensive refrigerant leaks
• Electrical troubles
• Frozen evaporator coils
• Overheated AC
• Uneven cooling around the house

It’s not magic—it’s just the power of expert technicians who know what your AC needs each year to operate with minimal problems.

Extend the Life of Your AC With Professional Maintenance

Another major benefit of AC maintenance is that it helps your cooling system work for as long as possible. The average service life of an air conditioner is 10–15 years, but an air conditioner that isn’t receiving regular professional care may end up failing earlier, maybe after only eight years. You don’t want to spend extra money on an early replacement, so professional maintenance is a fantastic investment.
