Busy homeowners already have a lot on their plates, and remembering to maintain mechanical equipment such as their heating and air conditioning systems can often get lost in the daily shuffle. But just like your car needs regular oil changes, your air conditioner needs an annual tune up to ensure it operates efficiently all summer long.
When you hand over the keys to your air conditioner to the friendly technicians at Baggett Heating & Cooling, you can rest assured knowing that it’ll receive the care and maintenance it requires to reduce repairs, lower energy bills and increase its overall lifespan. Baggett Heating & Cooling is a locally owned and operated company that proudly offers the residents of the Clarksville/Montgomery County area – our friends and neighbors – a full range of cooling services, including maintenance, repairs and installations.

How Often Do Air Conditioners Need Maintenance?
Air conditioners need annual maintenance. We receive many calls each year from homeowners whose systems failed to start up on the first hot day of the year, leaving them in a hot and uncomfortable home. At Baggett, we believe having maintenance performed is more important than when you have it performed. If it’s been awhile since your last tune up, it’s never too late to reap the benefits of annual AC maintenance.
What Are the Benefits of an Air Conditioning Tune Up?
Just a few of the many benefits of routine air conditioning maintenance include:
Reducing Breakdowns
During a maintenance visit, our technicians check all of the AC system’s components and clean coils and drains to ensure blockage-free passage for fluids and air. Regular maintenance can help reduce the chance of an untimely breakdown, especially when the system is being pushed to the limit on the hottest days of the year.
Prolonging Your Unit’s Lifespan
Nobody wants to pay for a new air conditioner prematurely. Air conditioners can last about 15 years on average, but only if regular maintenance and repairs are performed. The cost of maintenance is inexpensive compared to the costs of expensive repairs and replacement services.
Lowering Your Energy Bills
An inefficient air conditioning system that struggles to reach the set temperature can cause your energy bills to rise significantly. Investing in regular AC maintenance will ensure your unit is cleaned and calibrated to help it run more efficiently, thus lowering your bills.
Catching Problems Early
One of the biggest benefits of routine air conditioner maintenance is catching potential problems with your system before they worsen. During a maintenance appointment, Baggett Heating & Cooling’s technicians can catch smaller issues and recommend the necessary repairs before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
