Late Maintenance Is Always a Good Option

Monday, September 23rd, 2024

AC maintenance can be a tricky subject, especially when it’s not the middle of the summer. It seems like an obvious choice when your air conditioner is running 24/7 to keep you and your family comfortable, but once the heat dies down a little bit, it can seem like the hard part is over.

But remember, it’s a marathon not a sprint. Your air conditioner needs to run for 10 or more summers in order for it to be worth the investment in the first place, and just because it made it through one, does not mean it can automatically make it through another.

Even if it’s late in the season, we’d still recommend AC maintenance in Kelowna, BC for the following reasons.

Do Not Delay! Get Air Conditioner Repair Right Away!

Monday, September 9th, 2024

Sometimes a few chilly days during the beginning of fall can be enough to get us to forget about the bad problems we have been experiencing. That is–until a heatwave returns and all of a sudden things are a lot worse than they were.

AC repairs just do not go away on their own, that is for certain. In fact, studies show (and our experience confirms this) that AC problems get worse over time. Components degrade, sounds get louder, and your AC could even completely break down as a result of having an internal issue.

The only thing that will do your system good is scheduling professional AC repair. And yes, even if the cooling season is almost over, we can guarantee that next year the high temperatures will return and your system will be in the same shape, if not worse, without repairs.
