When Should You Schedule AC Maintenance?
Living in Saskatoon, where summers can get hot and humid, having a well-functioning air conditioner is essential. But when is the best time to service your AC to ensure it runs efficiently when you need it most? The answer: early spring.
Why Spring is the Ideal Time for AC Maintenance
✅ Prepare for Peak Summer Use – Scheduling AC maintenance in spring ensures your unit is in top shape before the hot weather arrives. You won’t have to deal with unexpected breakdowns during a heatwave.
✅ Avoid the Summer Rush – HVAC companies get extremely busy in the summer with emergency repairs. Booking a spring appointment means faster service and greater availability.
✅ Increase Energy Efficiency – A well-maintained AC runs more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering your electricity bills.
✅ Extend the Life of Your AC – Regular maintenance can add years to your system’s lifespan, delaying the need for costly replacements.
✅ Catch Small Issues Early – Routine inspections help detect minor problems before they turn into major (and expensive) repairs.
What Happens During an AC Tune-Up?
When you schedule a professional AC service, technicians will:
- Clean or replace the air filter
- Check refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils
- Inspect and tighten electrical connections
- Lubricate moving parts to prevent wear and tear
- Test thermostat accuracy and recalibrate if needed
- Ensure proper airflow and check for blockages
Can You Do AC Maintenance Yourself?
Some basic maintenance tasks can be done at home, such as changing the air filter, cleaning debris around the outdoor unit, and ensuring vents are unblocked. However, a professional tune-up is recommended once a year for a thorough inspection and servicing.
