Annual HVAC maintenance is necessary for your home’s air conditioner system to run right and efficiently. Keeping your AC regularly maintained will ensure that it does not break down unexpectedly on the hottest night of the year, that it will be performing at peak performance, and that it will use significantly less energy as a result.

As we like to say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Here are five of the benefits of scheduling annual HVAC maintenance from Dufrene’s Heating & Cooling for your AC unit in the spring.

Probably the most important benefit to be said of annual HVAC maintenance is that you will have fewer repairs to worry about. Your AC repairs will be less frequent when you have the system serviced regularly by our experienced technicians.

Think of it like this: the cost paid for the annual maintenance should be well worth it in the end, as you will not have to constantly be paying for frequent repairs throughout the long, hot summer. If you do find yourself needing an AC repair for whatever reason this summer, we do offer repair services as well.

2. LOWER ENERGY BILLS

Regular HVAC maintenance will allow your AC to work more efficiently. Our summers here in South Louisiana seem like they never end. Over time, the savings on your monthly electric bills from regular tune-ups can really start to add up.

During our tune-ups, we not only clean your system of any accumulated dirt and debris, but we also ensure that it is working at maximum efficiency. We look for potential problems before they arise, saving you money through preventative maintenance.

An AC tune-up from Dufrene’s will turbo-boost your air conditioner’s energy-efficiency, saving you plenty of money this summer. Call us today to schedule your summer tune-up!

3. EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR AC UNIT

Your HVAC system contains many moving and complex mechanical components. Having your system and parts regularly serviced will ensure that these parts don’t undergo extensive wear-and-tear throughout the years.

Our qualified technicians at Dufrene’s will thoroughly inspect your HVAC system and quickly resolve any problems such as a clogged filter, faulty fan belt, and any others. We examine each part of your unit and replace parts if necessary to keep you cool for the rest of the summer. This not only ensures that your system is working properly, but it also extends the overall life of your system by keeping it from over-exerting itself .

4. OPTIMAL AC PERFORMANCE

Keeping your system up-to-date with regular maintenance will help ensure optimal performance. This will allow you to rest easy at night knowing your AC unit will continue running during the hot summer months, without fail.

This also ensures that your system is not straining itself to keep your home cool, resulting in fewer breakdown issues. We understand that this is NOT the time of year for your AC unit to be having problems. Prevent them on the front-end of the smoldering summer ahead.

5. FEWER EMERGENCY BREAKDOWNS

There is nothing more stressful than your AC unit breaking down during a summer heat wave here in South Louisiana. The odds of this unfortunate event will be significantly lowered if you have just had your spring AC tune-up completed by a professional at Dufrene’s Heating and Cooling.

By scheduling a summer AC tune-up with us today, you will be able to have the peace of mind that you and your family will remain comfortable in your home all summer long.
