Proper maintenance of your air conditioning systems is often overlooked but very important for your equipment and your pocket! Taking the necessary measures to maintain your air conditioner will save you energy costs and prevent expensive repairs. P&C Heating and Air offers a Preventative Maintenance Program, which includes two seasonal inspections per year, as well as discounts on labor and parts.
Some of the Benefits of Preventative Maintenance
- Cleaning your evaporator and condenser coils keeps your equipment running smoothly and efficiently, saving you energy costs.
- Cleaning the blower wheels and filters allows air flow to increase, so your machine isn’t running longer than it should, running up your bill.
The bottom line is that preventative maintenance is the key to keeping your A/C equipment in good working condition, preventing costly repairs, and keeping your energy costs low. If you’re interested in learning more about our Preventative Maintenance Program, give us a call today at 205-345-9112.
