The Truth About Air Conditioning Maintenance

At Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating, we often hear customers say they don’t need regular maintenance for their AC units. This is a common misconception that we’d like to address and debunk.

The Myth

Many homeowners believe that as long as their air conditioning system is running, it doesn’t need any attention. They assume that regular maintenance is unnecessary and only required when something breaks down.

The Reality

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Regular maintenance is crucial for several reasons:

  • Improved efficiency
  • Lower energy bills
  • Extended lifespan of the unit
  • Better air quality
  • Prevention of costly repairs

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Just like your car needs regular oil changes and tune-ups, your AC unit requires periodic check-ups to function optimally. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will:

1. Clean or replace air filters
2. Check refrigerant levels
3. Inspect and clean coils
4. Lubricate moving parts
5. Check electrical connections

These simple tasks can significantly improve your AC’s performance and prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.

The Bottom Line

Don’t fall for the myth that AC units are maintenance-free. Regular servicing by professionals like those at Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating can save you money in the long run and ensure your home stays cool and comfortable all summer long.
