With summer fast approaching, your comfort at home will depend on the performance of your air conditioning unit. Unfortunately, this essential appliance may have collected dust during the long winter months. Investing in a comprehensive inspection before summer will prevent minor issues from getting ugly.

Ritchie Ronnie Service Co. has offered expert air conditioning, heating, and plumbing repair services in the Waynesboro, VA, area since 1955. Their highly skilled technicians will ensure your home’s cooling system is running at peak performance before the weather heats up.

Here are some of the reasons why you should have your air conditioning system checked before summer:

• Your Pipes Could Have Frozen: Despite your attempts to winterize coils and pipes during the long winter months, there’s a chance they may have frozen. Extreme cold can lead to brittleness and cracks, which will prevent fluid from flowing to your air conditioning unit. A licensed professional has the trained eye to spot frozen pipes and recommend solutions before the problem escalates.
• You Need to Prepare Your AC for Extensive Use: Your air conditioning unit will be under a lot of stress during the warmer months, so you must double-check that all of its components can sustain prolonged use at high settings.
• It Pays to Maximize Energy Efficiency: There’s a good chance you forgot all about your air conditioning system over the winter, allowing debris and dirt to accumulate freely. This buildup will force your AC to work harder during the summer, putting unnecessary strain on the entire system and causing your energy bill to skyrocket. A thorough inspection will ensure your cooling system is running efficiently.

Regular cooling and heating system inspections will extend the service life of your equipment, save you money on energy and repair costs, and keep your family comfortable throughout the year.
