Why You Should Get Your AC Serviced Before You Turn It On This Season
Saskatchewan it is time to Spring into comfort with a pre-season AC tune-up from Gibbon Heating and Air Conditioning.
As the weather warms up and the urge to hit the thermostat kicks in, it’s tempting to just flip the switch and let your air conditioner do its thing. But hold on! Before you power up your AC for the first time this season, there's one crucial step you shouldn’t skip: pre-season maintenance.
At Gibbon Heating and Air Conditioning, we know how important it is to keep your system running efficiently, safely, and reliably. Here’s why scheduling maintenance before you start using your AC can save you money, stress, and sweaty afternoons later on.
1. Catch Problems Early
Winter can be tough on AC systems—especially if your unit sits outside. Dirt, debris, weather damage, or even curious critters may have compromised your system without you knowing. A professional tune-up ensures everything is inspected, cleaned, and in working order before it’s called back into action.
Bonus: Catching a small issue now (like a worn belt or low refrigerant) can prevent a full breakdown later when the temps are soaring.
2. Improve Energy Efficiency
A well-maintained air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool. That means lower energy bills for you and less strain on your unit. During a Gibbon AC tune-up, we’ll clean the coils, check your refrigerant levels, and optimize the system for peak performance.
3. Extend the Life of Your AC
Think of AC maintenance like an oil change for your car—it keeps everything running smoothly and extends the life of the system. Neglecting it can lead to premature wear and tear, and eventually, costly repairs or replacements.
4. Better Air Quality
Your AC doesn’t just cool the air—it helps filter and circulate it, too. Dirty filters and dusty components can blow allergens, mold spores, and other contaminants into your home. Pre-season maintenance ensures your air stays fresh and healthy from day one.
5. Avoid the Rush
Once the first hot day hits, everyone realizes their AC isn’t working—and HVAC companies book up fast. Getting your maintenance done early means you’re ahead of the crowd and ready to beat the heat before it starts.
