The last thing you want is a broken air conditioner on a hot day, and scheduling and paying for AC repair can seem tedious right at the moment. Still, repairing your air conditioner sooner rather than later could save you a lot of money later. Isn’t reducing the number of repairs overall and extending the life of your air conditioning system an incentive to schedule some professional help when your air conditioner needs it?
At Chud Cooling & Heating, we want to keep your air conditioner unit functioning for as long as possible. Our family-owned business strives to provide the best service and honest recommendations to every client we serve.
Here’s more about when to schedule a repair for your cooling system for the best outcomes.
The Best Time to Schedule AC Repair
The best time to schedule AC repair is as soon as you notice something is off with your system. Don’t let weird noises or lukewarm air persist.
Typically, air conditioners will get worse when you let their symptoms linger. Your AC needs repair when:
- You hear noises you haven’t heard before, like rattling or banging.
- You smell burning or rotten smells when the air comes on.
- The air isn’t as cool as it usually is, or it blows out hot.
- The unit won’t stay on long enough to cool the house.
Many of these problems are due to leaking refrigerant, a failing compressor, or electrical issues. All of these problems will worsen over time if left unchecked.
Schedule Cooling Installations in the Off-Season
Air conditioners last 10 years, on average. You can squeeze longer out of them with excellent care, but no unit will last forever. Once your unit is at the end of its rope and you need to install a new one, be sure to schedule your HVAC contractor for the spring or fall.
HVAC technicians are busy with air conditioning emergencies all summer and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, servicing furnaces in the winter. Spring is often the best time for an air conditioning installation because of the open schedule. Fall is a good second choice.
It’s also best to schedule the installation long before you need the unit to work. You want to be ready for the summer.
Spring Is for AC Maintenance
How can you avoid frequent AC repair? Get annual maintenance in the spring and give the technician plenty of time to fit you into the schedule. These sessions give your air conditioner a thorough check, including:
- Cleaning.
- Troubleshooting.
- Replacing broken or worn-out parts.
Your technician will let you know if they need to repair or replace anything. That’s why spring maintenance prevents urgent AC repairs in the middle of summer when HVAC companies are at their busiest.

“I had a great experience with Chud. Lewis and Sebastian did a fantastic job. They were communicative and on time, explained everything that they would be doing to clean my HVAC ductwork, answered all of my questions, were honest about not being able to properly clean my dryer vent, and cleaned up after they were done. They also went above and beyond, even cleaning dust from each slat of the return vent. Highly recommend.”

“We rely on Chud Duct Cleaning to perform our regular duct cleaning in our home. Your service technicians Lewis and Sebastian arrived promptly, introduced themselves and got right to work. Our home has many vents behind and under furniture, which was moved and replaced as if nothing ever happened. My home was carefully prepared and respected throughout the entire process. An access panel was replaced for a more pleasant look and better access in the future. I will not hesitate to use this company for service again.”

“They came to service my heater and clean my ducts. They were super respectful of my property, thourough with their work, and carefully explained everything to me. My system is falling into disrepair. I could clearly see the rust and hear the problems they found. They recommended a variety of possible solutions from temporary furnace repairs to a new HVAC system. No pressure. I have a lot to think about, but it is good to know I have found someone I can trust to do the job.”

They took the time to explain the process in detail, and were extremely aware of the need to treat a customer’s home as if it were their own. This was my second experience with Chud, and I won’t hesitate to call them again in the future.”

Rich had patience with all my questions about the new system and helped me to understand the differences I should expect with the new. Matt and John did an outstanding job pulling out the old and installing the new. They got there on time and got right to work. Very professional technicians. Overall, a top notch job at a fair price. I highly recommend Chud.”
