All throughout the year, Louisiana residents rely on their air conditioning to keep cool. Since the temperatures can reach highs of 80 degrees as early as April, a working air conditioner is crucial to home comfort.
To that end, it’s important to schedule professional maintenance in early spring to prepare your cooling system for the hot summer days ahead. We recommend having your unit serviced by a trained professional sometime in March or April. Even if you aren’t experiencing any issues, in particular, taking a preventative approach can save you both time and money in the long run.
Do You Need An AC Repair or Maintenance?
Not sure whether you need regular maintenance versus air conditioner repairs? Repairs are typically called in for specific concerns with your air conditioning systems, whereas maintenance covers an overall inspection and check-up.
Your system may require notable repairs if you neglect to perform early air conditioning maintenance, forcing the cooling unit to struggle through the hot summer days without proper care. With that said, air conditioning maintenance provides better long-term performance and efficiency.

In fact, it’s been noted that consistent care and maintenance may even help your unit outlast the manufacturer’s life expectancy. Essentially, you’ll postpone the time in which your unit needs to be replaced.
