The Summer months are particularly straining on your air conditioning when the temperatures are warm & humid.
The Southeast faces this concern every single year.
Mild Summers are almost unheard of! It’s no surprise that heating & A/C companies are severely tied up during the hot Summer months in this section of the country. One of the reasons is that some people do not seem to make the link between maintaining a cool & comfortable temperature in their home, & how much more tricky that is as the temperature increases outside! Some people do not seem to realize that the higher temperatures & humidity means the harder the air conditioning has to work in order to keep them feeling cool & at their number one temperature. This is especially appropriate for people who insist on setting a typically low temperature on their thermostat in spite of having severely high rapidly increasing temperatures outside. The air conditioning has to job much harder, & it will cause the kind of wear & tear that can cause a system to completely fail. Obviously, one clue that your air conditioning is absolutely working harder is a higher energy bill. Some people will be willing to pay higher energy bills to keep cool, however these people also need to understand that the increasing cost for Heating & A/C maintenance will also keep getting steeper If they do not maintain their unit. In short, if you get a lot of use out of your air conditioning, there is going to need to be a proportional amount of service done on the unit If it is going to last for a significant amount of time. It may be a drag paying the service fees, however those fees are a lot less extravagant than completely replacing an Heating & A/C system.
