What Happens When You Skip Your Air Conditioning Maintenance Appointment?

May 16, 2025

The weather may already be warming up in your community, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to schedule an air conditioning maintenance appointment if you haven’t done so already. You may be tempted to skip your appointment this year, thinking that since everything was in top shape last year, how can anything change that much?

However, there could be hidden issues with your air conditioner that you won’t even notice until the demands you place on your air conditioner are greatest—in the middle of summer. Even the smallest layer of dirt or dust can build up and eventually negatively impact the efficiency and performance of your heating and cooling systems.

What You Miss When You Skip Routine Maintenance

Professional, routine maintenance can significantly help your air conditioner perform as efficiently as possible throughout its entire lifespan. On the other hand, if you skip routine maintenance, you could run into the following problems.

  • You have a higher chance that your air conditioning system will break down during the summer season.
  • You’ll find that you’re spending more on cooling costs throughout the summer than you have in previous years.
  • You will likely not stay as cool as you could have since your air conditioner won’t have its normal cooling output.
  • Your AC system’s components may wear down faster, which will effectively reduce its lifespan.

Enrolling in a Maintenance Plan

When you enroll in a maintenance program, you won’t have to worry about remembering to schedule maintenance every year. You’ll receive reminders for service, in addition to other benefits. At least once a year, technicians will effectively clean and tune up your HVAC system, which helps improve efficiency and performance for the years to come.
