If you want your air conditioner to last 10–15 years and run efficiently, regular maintenance isn’t optional—it’s required. In Colorado’s climate, where temperatures can swing quickly, your AC system works harder than most homeowners realize.
How Often Should AC Be Serviced?
Most HVAC professionals recommend servicing your air conditioner at least once per year, ideally in the spring before peak usage.
However, you may need more frequent service if:
- You have pets (hair clogs filters faster)
- You run your system constantly
- Your home has poor insulation
- You’ve had past AC issues
What Happens During AC Maintenance?
A professional AC tune-up typically includes:
- Cleaning condenser coils
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Inspecting electrical components
- Testing thermostat calibration
- Replacing or cleaning air filters
This is exactly why investing in a maintenance plan can prevent expensive breakdowns and extend system life.
