Routine Air Conditioner Maintenance Saves Money

Routine maintenance on your air conditioning unit can save you a ton of money. It might seem like a hassle to have a maintenance person come out and spend between $100-$150 a year for the service, but it’s important. If you’re going to be moving into a home on Marco Island for the first time, be sure to get this done at least once a year. It’ll save you money on emergency repairs, replacement costs, and even on energy costs.

All HVAC equipment should be inspected professionally at least once a year. This includes heaters, heat pumps, mini-splits, and standard air conditioning units. Twice a year is even better, but minimally, shoot for once a year.

What Happens During A Yearly Maintenance Visit

Preventative maintenance will cost around $100-$150 a year. Some of these contracts even offer discounts on emergency repairs too. Annual maintenance will reduce the chances that you will ever need an emergency visit though

Yearly maintenance visits will include:

  • Cleaning the indoor unit’s coil
  • Cleaning the outside air conditioner unit’s coil
  • Cleaning air filter
  • Sometimes, replacing the air filter
  • Cleaning the condensate pump
  • Repairing parts as needed
  • Replacing parts as needed

  • Increased dependability
  • Greater efficiency
  • Cost savings on the energy bill
  • Catching problems early
  • Less expensive repairs
