Have you ever been faced with a sudden AC breakdown in the summer? It’s not something any homeowner wants to deal with. You may have to abandon your plans for the day to find a technician willing to come out for an emergency service call, not to mention the unexpected cost. But what if we told you that you could prevent repairs by calling a technician on your own time, so that you’re not inconvenienced later on in the summer season?

Common Repairs You Can Prevent with a Maintenance Visit

An AC maintenance visit includes a tune-up of your air conditioning system, a cleaning of some of the major components, and a complete inspection. Some issues can be repaired on the spot, but larger issues will require a separate appointment to fix. Still, it’s worth it to find out about problems early on (rather than on the hottest day of the year) and to get some adjustments to your system that can help prevent the following repairs.

• Clogged Condensate Drain – This is something that’s so easy for a technician to take care of during a maintenance call. But once your air conditioner is already running, a clogged condensate drain turns into a big deal. Water could overflow from the system and cause water damage to your home!
• Dirty Condenser Coil – The condenser coil, located in the outside unit of your AC system, is important for the operation of your system because it’s the part where refrigerant condenses and heat dissipates into the air after vacating your home. Cleaning it up is a standard maintenance task, and leaving it dirty can force the whole heat exchange process to suffer.
• Loose Electrical Connections – It’s another thing that a technician can fix with relative ease during routine maintenance, but when you let the problem go on for too long, the system can become overworked—not to mention cost you more to run.
