We Floridians have to endure a lot more sunshine than those northern neighbors we read about on the news or send text messages to on the weekends. This is understandably why we’re called the Sunshine State, and why your air conditioning is only going to get more important as time goes on.
While we love the sunshine, warm temperatures, and access to the most beautiful beaches in the country, those amazing things come at a cost. The heat can sometimes be unbearable, and our air conditioners are the hardy warriors that protect us with breezes of cool, conditioned air. Those AC units require maintenance to last even partially as long as they might up north, and it’s why we focus on efficiency and longevity when we provide AC maintenance in Sarasota, FL.
Keep reading to learn why air conditioning maintenance can help improve longevity, and why that’s such a powerful metric for your home cooling.
More Time Spent in Air Conditioning
Here’s an easy thing to consider when evaluating whether you should invest in AC maintenance or not: we spend on average more time in air conditioning than anyone north of us. An air conditioner will run between 12–16 hours each day, and with how hot it can be throughout the year, that translates to a heavier burden than someone in the northern United States.
This is important because it means you rely on your air conditioning more than you would otherwise, and the system deserves more care as a result.
Efficiency Levels and Savings
Maintenance is simply the fastest and easiest way to save money both in terms of staving off repairs and keeping the system running efficiently. If you’re going to be running your AC more than the average American here in Sarasota, you might as well do it as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Maintenance can help reduce the frequency of system breakdowns, component faults, and it can even detect a problem early on so you can budget accordingly for your next repair.
Seeking Refuge From the Heat
We’re not saying that Sarasotans don’t like the heat. Of course we do! The sunshine combined with a nice sea breeze makes our home feel like a paradise on earth. But eventually, those temperatures can get hot, humidity levels can get muggy, and you’re going to want to seek refuge from those fluctuations.
This happens regardless of how we feel about it. Many homeowners without air conditioning, or with old and outdated air conditioners, will simply travel during those hot days, or they’ll go out to dinner in an air-conditioned restaurant. This is a fine idea, but it’s an expensive one.
If you’re on a budget, having air conditioning at home is going to be the easiest and most comfortable way to save money and just live your life. You won’t have to worry about going elsewhere for comfort when temperatures are hot and muggy, which allows you to make more long-term, cost-effective decisions.
