The simple step to avoid repairs that we\u2019re talking about is, indeed, simple, and any good HVAC contractor recommends it. Not all HVAC contractors can deliver on it\u2014at least not with the best results\u2014but we can!<\/p>\n<p>And that step is \u2026 joining an HVAC maintenance program to have your AC tuned-up and inspected each spring.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s that easy. And we have a great maintenance program: our Safety and Efficiency Cool Club. When you join, you\u2019ll cut down significantly on <a href=\"\/service-areas\/richmond-tx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air conditioning repair in Richmond, TX<\/a> every year.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How Significantly? Would You Believe 85% Fewer Repairs?<\/h2>\n<p>You read that correctly. Annual professional maintenance for an air conditioner has been proven to reduce the number of repairs the system may need by 85%. Consider how much this saves you both in money and convenience. You won\u2019t have to sit in the heat with a failing air conditioner while repairs wait to get to you. (We\u2019re fast at responding to customer needs, but we can\u2019t teleport!)<\/p>\n<p>How does maintenance lower repair needs so much? In multiple ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>During maintenance, technicians check on all moving parts\u2014such as the motors and the blower assembly\u2014and lubricate any parts that need it. This prevents motors from burning out early.<\/li>\n<li>Technicians run a pressure check on the refrigerant. A drop in pressure indicates leaks in the system. Technicians can patch these up and replace the lost refrigerant. This can prevent a catastrophic compressor breakdown.<\/li>\n<li>The AC coils receive cleaning if necessary. Dirty coils can lead to trouble with icing on the system.<\/li>\n<li>The technicians check all electrical connections and tighten them. The majority of air conditioning repairs are related to electrical problems.<\/li>\n<li>If necessary, the technicians recalibrate the thermostat so it doesn\u2019t force the air conditioner to run longer and rack up excess strain.<\/li>\n<li>General system cleaning and adjustments contribute to a \u201cwell-oiled machine\u201d that rarely encounters problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Maintenance Does Even More for Your AC<\/h2>\n<p>Lowering the number of malfunctions is only one of the benefits of regular maintenance through our Safety and Efficiency Cool Club. The tune-ups and inspections contribute to a longer system life for the air conditioner. A regularly maintained AC can last from 10 to 15 years, while one without maintenance will only last 5 to 8. Maintenance also ensures the air conditioner works at maximum capacity and efficiency. You\u2019ll have the cool house temperatures you want at an affordable price.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, keeping current with air conditioning maintenance prevents voiding the warranty. Without the warranty, you may end up having to pay for an expensive repair that came from a factory fault.<\/p>\n<h2>The Safety and Efficiency Cool Club Has Perks<\/h2>\n<p>To make the Cool Club even better for our customers, we\u2019ve added some perks you\u2019ll love:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repair discounts<\/li>\n<li>Priority service over non-club members<\/li>\n<li>No overtime charges<\/li>\n<li>Inflation protection\u2014your membership fees are locked in<\/li>\n<li>Agreement is transferable if you sell your home<\/li>\n<li>We call with reminders so you won\u2019t forget<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>At AC Comfort, \u201cYour Comfort Is Our Business!\u201d <a href=\"\/maintenance-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up for the Safety and Efficiency Cool Club<\/a> today and enjoy great AC performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That step is \u2026 joining an HVAC maintenance program to have your AC tuned-up and inspected each spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[100,90],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":689,"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685\/revisions\/689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.accomfort.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
