Why is AC maintenance important?

AC maintenance is the key to a longer lifespan for your AC system. At Andy Lewis / Hobson Heating & Air we recommend having maintenance performed on your AC system 2x per year. This ensures your stay comfortable in all seasons.

Do you need to service AC every year?

Your AC system needs regular service to operate efficiently. Semi-annual maintenance allows a licensed HVAC technician to keep an eye on your system so minor problems don’t turn into major ones over time. Servicing your AC on a regular schedule keeps it operating efficiently and also keeps your energy bills low.

What do I do if my AC isn’t blowing cold air?

Has your AC system stopped blowing cold air? If so you may have a blocked condenser coil. If you realize your AC system is not cooling we recommend turning your system off and calling a licensed air conditioning professional to diagnose the problem. Never try to diagnose or repair an AC issue on your own. Due to the electrical components of air conditioners, it can be dangerous.
