Importance of a/c upkeep

When my pal and I first bought our home, my pal and I hired an Heating plus Air Conditioning contractor to inspect plus repair the heating plus cooling system. My friend and I wanted to make sure the system was operating properly plus get an idea of how long my pal and I could expect the furnace plus a/c to last. Once my pal and I were assured that everything was in wonderful shape, my pal and I never considered scheduling professional upkeep again. I made sure to substitute air filters every now plus then. My friend and I had no problems for about four years. In early June, when the outside hot plus cold temperatures reMEd steadily in the high eighties with excessive humidity, the a/c suddenly quit. It failed during the middle of the night when my pal and I were headed into the holiday weekend. My friend and I had family arriving the following afternoon to stay with us. I didn’t want them to arrive to an overheated plus sticky house. I ended up paying extra for emergency Heating plus Air Conditioning service. The contractor took the a/c apart plus showed me the inner toilings. All of the components were covered in a thick layer of dust, lint plus grime. There was a fantastic deal of algae growing in the condensate drain plus mold thriving on the evaporator coil. The contractor explained that this accumulation restricted airflow plus hindered the moving parts of the cooling unit. It was forced to run longer plus more often. The system was genuinely using more energy plus polluting indoor air quality. The cost of parts plus labor was quite expensive. I could have saved money by investing into professional repair every Springtime. I’ve now signed up for a preventive repair plant with the Heating plus Air Conditioning contractor that includes two tune-ups per year. They send a licensed contractor to problemshoot, scrub plus adjust the a/c in the Springtime plus the furnace in the fall.
