It’s important to service your AC unit regularly to avoid costly problems. If you don’t get your AC unit serviced regularly, it could cause the unit to break down, resulting in you having to pay for a new AC unit.

Ideally, you should service your air conditioner twice a year–once in the Spring and another in the Fall. However, if you live in a particularly dusty environment, you may need to service it more often. You can also increase the frequency of your service if you notice that your air conditioner isn’t working as well as it used to.

Most manufacturers require annual professional maintenance to keep your warranty valid. While twice-yearly service is ideal, missing scheduled maintenance can void your warranty or cause claim denials. Between professional visits, check your air filter monthly and replace it every 30 to 90 days depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Beyond the recommended twice-yearly professional service, your AC filter needs attention every 30 to 90 days. Homes with pets, allergies, or high dust levels may require more frequent filter changes. Annual professional service is typically mandatory for warranty compliance, protecting your investment in case repairs become necessary.

Watch for sudden spikes in energy bills beyond normal seasonal increases, which indicate inefficient operation. Short cycling, where your unit turns on and off frequently, signals potential problems. Weak airflow, reduced cooling efficiency, or ice formation on the evaporator coil are additional warning signs requiring immediate professional attention.

Professional maintenance includes clearing the condensate drain line to prevent water damage and mold growth. Technicians inspect ductwork for leaks, clean and adjust blower components, and examine system controls. They also check that your outdoor unit remains level and visually inspect electrical wiring for safety hazards.
