Whether one chooses to have their air conditioning unit professionally serviced annually or not is a matter of preference.
Ideally, though, this should be something that homeowners do as a matter of urgency.
Like any other machinery, HVAC systems tire and wear out when used continuously. Unfortunately, these units hardly get to break from their function from when they are first installed. Usually, they tend to run day in, day out as they focus on making the house comfortable for people to live in. Unless your heating and cooling systems are separated, the chances are that the central unit installed will run all seasons through. This is the more reason it should be serviced. While HVAC system manufacturers and HVAC businesses deliver the best quality systems and units in the market, there is no guarantee that the unit will last as long as the manufacturer promises. What is clear, though, is that basic maintenance and annual fine-tune sessions go a long way in ensuring that the cooling and heating unit serves you as long as expected. Most of the warranties and assurances from manufacturers are pegged on how well you can care for the machine. Failing to allow for annual checkups is one step close to having it fail to work when you need it most. It may also have to replace it before it is due. A simple servicing routine can save you all these. While you may have to part with some cash, it is worth it in the long run. Investing in your unit is a smart move that can help you.
