Your air conditioner might be running, but if you’re making this #1 AC mistake, you could be costing yourself money and comfort. Learn what it is—and how Dash Heating and Air Conditioning can help.
As temperatures rise, your air conditioner becomes your home’s hero. But many homeowners unknowingly sabotage their system—and their comfort—with one critical mistake. At Dash Heating and Air Conditioning, we see it all the time.
So what’s the #1 AC mistake homeowners make?
Neglecting Regular AC Maintenance
That’s right—the biggest mistake is skipping routine maintenance. It’s easy to forget when your AC seems to be working fine. But like your car or any complex system, it needs regular care to perform efficiently and avoid breakdowns.
Why It’s a Big Deal
- Ignoring maintenance can lead to:
- Reduced efficiency (higher energy bills)
- Poor indoor air quality
- Unexpected system failures
- Shortened system lifespan
- Expensive repairs down the road
Regular check-ups help catch small issues before they become big problems—and keep your home consistently cool.
What Proper AC Maintenance Looks Like
Here are a few steps you (and your HVAC tech) should take:
- Replace or clean air filters every 1–3 months
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris and vegetation
- Check for refrigerant leaks
- Inspect ductwork for leaks or blockages
- Test thermostat accuracy
- Clean evaporator and condenser coils
- Schedule professional tune-ups at least once a year
How to Avoid the Mistake
Don’t wait for your AC to stop working before giving it attention. Set a calendar reminder to:
- Change your filters
- Schedule annual maintenance
- Monitor your system for strange sounds or performance changes
