Bottini Fuel Explains Why it is Important to Maintain Your Air Conditioner

Introduction

An air conditioner, just like a car, needs to be maintained on a regular basis. At Bottini Fuel, we suggest that you have your air conditioner serviced and/or cleaned once a year. We have written articles on how you can clean them yourself (to an extent) and things that you can check before you have us come to service your unit. These two things alone can save you time and money. But the question still remains, why is it so darn important to have this done once a year? If you keep reading, we will tell you.

Why is it so Important?

In short, maintaining your air conditioner will save you money. Other reasons include reduced electric bills, more efficient air conditioners, and a cleaner house. Let us break those down for you.

As far as the saving money goes, we have found that customers that have their unit looked at once a year save, on average, around 15 percent on their repair and electric bills. Isn’t that money better in your pocket than in someone else’s? Think of the extra things that you can do on vacation with 15 percent more money to work with.

When it comes to efficiency, we have noticed that customers that have maintained units tell us that they feel the air conditioner works faster for them. When you come home from work, you just want to relax in a nice cool house. You don’t want to wait hours for the house to cool down. This is due to unmaintained units being less efficient. Recently we looked at how long it would take for a maintained unit versus an unmaintained unit to cool the same square footage and found that the newer units can accomplish this task in about 50% less time. Because you don’t leave your air on all day, means you have to wait until you get home to turn it on. If you could be feeling cool by the time you finish making dinner, that would be great. With a properly maintained, up to date unit, you can be living this, not dreaming about it.

Everyone likes a clean house, but no one likes to clean the house.

If you have an unmaintained unit, you will be blowing dust throughout your house every time you turn the unit on. This means that dust is going to settle on any flat surface. This can be a problem if you have people with allergies living in your house. All that dust is going to make them have itchy, watery eyes. If you would simply maintain your air conditioner, you will find that the filters keep a lot of that dust trapped inside and will not have an effect on other people.

Conclusion

Bottini Fuel knows that it can be a bit of an ask to have people have their air conditioner serviced all the time, but it really behooves you to have it done. You will find many different benefits that you didn’t even think possible and perhaps ones we didn’t even list in this article.
