Debunking the Myth: AC Units Don’t Need Regular Maintenance

The Truth About Air Conditioning Maintenance

At Murphy’s Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing, we often encounter misconceptions about HVAC systems. One common myth we’d like to address today is the belief that air conditioning units don’t require regular maintenance. This couldn’t be further from the truth!

Why Regular AC Maintenance Matters

Many homeowners in Cape Cod, MA, and surrounding areas like Barnstable, Dennis, Harwich, Yarmouth, and Harwich Port believe that their AC units will continue to function optimally without any upkeep. However, regular maintenance is crucial for several reasons:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Extended lifespan of the unit
  • Better indoor air quality
  • Reduced risk of unexpected breakdowns
  • Lower utility bills

The Consequences of Neglecting AC Maintenance

Failing to maintain your air conditioning system can lead to:

1. Decreased performance
2. Higher energy consumption
3. More frequent repairs
4. Premature system failure

Murphy’s Recommendation

At Murphy’s, we recommend scheduling professional AC maintenance at least once a year, preferably in spring before the cooling season begins. Our expert technicians will thoroughly inspect, clean, and tune up your system to ensure it’s running at peak efficiency.

Don’t fall for the myth that AC units are maintenance-free. Protect your investment and enjoy comfortable, efficient cooling by keeping up with regular maintenance. Contact Murphy’s Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing today to schedule your next AC service appointment!
