ROUTINE AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE FROM HOWE
When first installed, your average air conditioner is expected to provide reliable cooling for years to come. But wear and tear, local weather, cottonwood trees, and just regular use will slowly affect the efficiency of your air conditioner.

Generally, the best time to perform these services is in the spring and the fall, because we can prepare your cooling and heating just before their busiest seasons.

QUALITY MAINTENANCE IMPROVES PERFORMACE
As long as their air conditioner turns on, many homeowners try to avoid spending any more money on their HVAC equipment than is absolutely necessary. You can also use tactics to keep your home cool to prolong the life of your system. But even top brands wear down eventually, costing you time and money. Over the lifespan of your average system, that could mean losing years of service.
Routine maintenance gives your air conditioning the best chance to continue working at peak efficiency. When you consistently invest in regular check-ups, you’ll also enjoy other benefits such as:
- Higher energy efficiency: when core components are kept in pristine condition, your air conditioner uses less energy to cool your home. Since routine maintenance can add years onto your equipment’s lifespan, energy savings can add up considerably.
- Lower risk of system failure: a sudden and permanent shutdown can often be traced back to ignoring AC maintenance. During a check-up, our technicians have the chance to recognize and resolve problems that would otherwise lead to system failure.
- Fewer problems needing repairs: quality maintenance isn’t only for key components. Every other aspect of your air conditioner is improved, which can lower the risk of problems happening in the first place.
