On blisteringly hot days, you appreciate coming home to an air-conditioned space. However, there are a lot of moments when you probably take this system for granted, unaware of all it is silently doing to keep your house more comfortable. The guide below looks at the various tasks it performs and why air conditioning service and maintenance should be a priority.

Benefits of a Central Heating and Air System

1. Better Indoor Air Quality

No matter what you do, dust, dirt, and allergens will find a way to infiltrate your home. There, they can trigger symptoms ranging from a runny nose to an irritated throat to more severe respiratory issues, especially in those with asthma. However, your HVAC system helps to eliminate these contaminants by trapping them inside of their filters—so long as you engage in air conditioning service and replace them every three months.

2. Dehumidifying the Home

Humidity makes the heat feel even hotter. It can also contribute to mold growth. Luckily, your AC removes moisture from the air, collecting it and helping it condensate until it makes its way to the system’s drip pan.

3. Protects Temperature-Sensitive Items

Certain items, such as electronics, need to be kept at particular temperatures, otherwise, they will experience problems. Apple® products, for example, may become slower, develop a shorter battery life, or the heat may melt the glue holding the product together. Wood furniture expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity, as do wood floors. By investing in air conditioning service to keep your unit operational and efficient, you can make sure none of these temperature-sensitive items aren’t damaged.
