AC Service Calls on the Rise as Summer Heats Up
Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Every summer there’s a similar story. As temperatures go up, so does the load on air conditioning repair companies. The high temperatures and frequent use puts a strain on AC units, and technicians are scrambling to meet demands and keep customers cool. While residents can’t do anything about the scorching temperatures, most AC companies will attest that many major issues could have been prevented through regular maintenance.
Whether for economic reasons, or just lack of knowledge, many homeowners put off regular maintenance which often results in more costly and extensive repairs. A compromised air conditioning system, or one that hasn’t been maintained, will be more likely to give out when the temperatures force it to work around the clock. Air conditioning companies note that regular maintenance can pay for itself, if it means not having to pay for a repair down the road. It can also give homeowners peace of mind that their system will keep them cool during the hottest parts of the summer.
Homeowners can help prevent a meltdown by doing some routine maintenance themselves. Keep outdoor condenser units free of debris and change AC filters regularly. Homeowners should schedule maintenance in the spring to allow plenty of time to fix issues before the summer, and to beat the busy season for AC companies.
To avoid a broken air conditioning Houston Texas AC companies recommend getting issues assessed at the first sign of trouble, even if they don’t seem to be impacting the normal function of the unit. Don’t be one of those people waiting in line for the AC repair man to show up.
