For every responsible property owner, tenant well-being is key—and that includes the comfort and satisfaction of your tenants during warmer months. A surefire way to deliver on that is through regular A/C maintenance, especially in the weeks leading to the hot summer month. When summer’s heat sets in, the last thing you and your tenants want to deal with is a malfunctioning air conditioner. Unfortunately, it’s common that A/C units often break down during extremely hot days, disrupting comfort and frustrating property owners.
Importance of springtime HVAC maintenance for tenant comfort
Getting an air conditioning unit repaired during the summertime is no easy task. Technicians often handle non-stop service calls, and some charge higher rates due to demand. Worse, when a technician can’t arrive as quickly as they hoped, residents may become dissatisfied and look for a new rental home.
It’s wise to prepare for the hot summer weather and avoid frequent maintenance calls by planning maintenance on your A/C unit before summer. A well-maintained air conditioner is far more reliable, and spring is the ideal time to have it inspected. Regular maintenance of the air conditioning units will keep them operating efficiently and reliably.
Benefits of regular HVAC maintenance for property owners
A well-maintained air conditioning system often lasts 10 to 15 years, with proper upkeep. A well-cared-for A/C unit not only improves performance but contributes to better indoor air. This supports the long-term effectiveness of your rental property’s HVAC system.
When you have your air conditioning system cleaned, tested, and tuned up, you reduce the risk of breakdowns and can avoid emergency calls and expensive service charges.
Best practices for HVAC maintenance
Some basic maintenance on air conditioning is manageable for those with the necessary skills and understanding. Condenser coils can be rinsed using a garden hose, and filters should be checked and replaced once every three months. Ensure ducts should be vacuumed regularly. However, more intensive jobs like replacing the refrigerant or detailed servicing and maintenance are best completed by an accomplished professional.
Since maintaining your cooling system can take time, it’s often best to hire a professional for peace of mind.
