The weather in Tampa is already sunny and warm, just as we’d expect in May. Air conditioners are now up and running, and they’ll probably only have a few days of break time for the rest of the season.
Does that mean it’s too late for those AC maintenance plans in Tampa, FL? Is it better to just skip a year and have maintenance done next spring?
Not at all! It’s still early in the air conditioning season, and it’s far worse to skip maintenance entirely than have it done a few weeks later than usual. In fact, even if it were July, we’d still advise you to have maintenance done—because it’s that essential!
We’re already experiencing the warm days of an early spring in the Tampa Bay area, although we can still expect cooler rainy days. If you’ve lived here for even a single year, you already know how early the weather can turn warm and humid—the summer temperatures are never that far away.
Everybody wants their home to smell pleasant, not just for guests but for their own enjoyment. And there are few things less pleasant than a moldy odor spreading around your house because it’s coming out of the vents along with the heated or cooled air.
While the rest of the country gears up for heating season, we have just a bit more warm weather before the days start to really get cold. While you’re using your air conditioner these last few weeks, remember to keep your eyes open for any and all signs that the system is in trouble. You don’t want to have to deal with a full air conditioning breakdown right at the end of the summer, do you? That’s why it’s best that you catch any developing problems as early as possible so they can be repaired. 
While most of the rest of the country braces for a drop in temperature, those of us here in Florida are largely still relying on our ACs to keep us comfortable. If your air conditioner has gotten you this far in the season, you might think it’s in pretty good shape overall. What about next season, though? If your air conditioner doesn’t seem like it’s going to last one more season, you may want to replace it now rather than wait until next spring. 
We’ve written before on this blog about the importance of air conditioning maintenance services, and the benefits they can provide for your system. We’ve also written about how it’s best to schedule preventive maintenance for your air conditioner during the spring, when you’re going to get the most benefit out of it. For those who missed the spring window for scheduling air conditioning maintenance, that might make it seem like it’s too late to have it done this year. That’s not the case! If you haven’t had air conditioning maintenance done yet this year, don’t give up on it! Let’s go over the benefits of air conditioning maintenance again, and why it’s not too late for you to schedule it this season.
