Regular maintenance of your air conditioner can help ensure that it works efficiently and reliably, which can also prolong its lifespan. It is recommended to have your air conditioner serviced at least once a year.

Ideally, the best time to schedule a service appointment is before the start of the cooling season, so that any potential issues can be addressed before you start relying on your air conditioner. A professional HVAC technician can check and clean the various components of your system, including the air filter, evaporator coil, condenser coil, and fan motor. They can also inspect for any leaks or damage to the refrigerant lines and recharge the refrigerant if needed.

In addition to annual maintenance, it's important to keep up with regular tasks such as changing the air filter every 1-3 months, keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris and vegetation, and making sure the indoor air vents are not obstructed.
