Because if you’ve lived in the San Fernando Valley for more than one summer, you already know what’s coming.
Triple-digit heat waves, your AC running nonstop, and that sinking feeling when something doesn’t sound right.
The Valley regularly hits over 100°F during peak summer – and in 2020, temperatures reached a record 121°F. March is actually the perfect time to deal with your cooling system, before everyone else is scrambling in June.
Isn’t it too early to worry about my AC?
Not even a little. Here’s the thing – most AC breakdowns happen when your system kicks into high gear for the first time after sitting idle for months. Dust builds up, parts wear down, and small issues that weren’t a problem in winter suddenly become expensive emergencies. Getting a tune-up now means a technician catches those problems while they’re still cheap and easy to fix.
How much does it really cost to cool a home out here?
More than most people expect. Air conditioning accounts for roughly 19% of home electricity use nationwide, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. But in hotter regions like ours? That number climbs fast. The average American household is projected to spend around $784 just on cooling from June through September. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, which means lower bills all summer long.
What should I actually do right now?
Start with the filter – if you can’t remember the last time you changed it, it’s overdue. Beyond that, schedule a professional maintenance visit to make sure your system is clean, charged, and ready to handle Valley heat. A tech can check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and make sure nothing is about to fail on the hottest day of the year.
