With the heart of summer fast approaching, no one wants to be caught in the heat with a malfunctioning air conditioner. What most people don’t realize, though, is that AC repairs are more expensive than routine maintenance. That’s why the friendly professionals at Stewart Air Conditioning & Heating in Lexington, KY, provide top-quality preventive maintenance to their customers, such as fluid replacement and air filter changes.

3 AC Repairs to Avoid With Preventative Maintenance 

Freezing Up 

This happens when coolant levels in the system drop too low, causing ice buildup on the AC unit’s coils. A domino effect begins, and the unit tries much harder to cool the air until it inevitably breaks down from too much work. An expensive repair could be avoided with simple monitoring and a replenishment of fluid levels from an experienced technician. 

Temperature Overwork

Who’s guilty of bumping the thermostat down to 50 degrees when you come in from a sweltering day? Not only is this practice energy inefficient, but it can cause great harm to your air conditioning unit. By putting your unit into overdrive, you’re risking damage to many internal parts as it runs almost constantly to keep up. Instead, set your thermostat at the optimum 75 degrees in the summer and have your technician check for overwork at each maintenance visit.

Dirt Damage

The wear on the parts grows, and the potential for a major breakdown increases tremendously. That’s why it’s so important to change the air filter on a regular basis. Every 30- 90 days.

Dirt impeding the system can also lead to leaks in and around your home. A routine HVAC maintenance visit can clear all the debris to ensure your system remains smoothly running through the Kentucky summer. 

If you can see the benefits of maintenance over full-on AC repairs, then there’s no need to wait in getting your maintenance agreement in order with Stewart Air Conditioning & Heating, and their past customers agree. Get set for summer today by calling (859) 252-4945.
