Yes — annual AC maintenance is necessary even if your system seems to be running fine. AC equipment degrades silently. Dirty coils, weakening capacitors, slow refrigerant leaks, and worn contactors don’t usually show symptoms until they cause a breakdown or a spike in your energy bill. Maintenance is what catches them early.
Manufacturers also require documented annual maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Skipping it can mean paying out of pocket for parts that should have been covered. And in our region’s short cooling season, a single missed tune-up can lead to a mid-July emergency call when the system is asked to run hard for the first time.
