Should I turn my AC off sometimes?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s important to turn off your AC sometimes to give it a break and prevent it from freezing up. If your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-does-my-air-conditioner-run-constantly.htm">AC runs all the time</a>, your system’s parts will wear down quicker, which may mean that you need to replace it sooner. Plus, using your AC constantly uses more electricity and leads to higher energy bills. </p></div>

What shortens the life of an air conditioner?

• <div><p>While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.</p><p>Some things that shorten your AC’s lifespan include:</p><ul><li><p>Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray </p></li><li><p>Improper installation</p></li><li><p>Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low</p></li><li><p>Not performing required maintenance</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What is the most expensive part to replace on an AC unit?

• <div><p>An AC compressor is one of the most expensive parts to replace on an AC unit if it breaks. You’ll pay up to $2,300 if you need a new one. If your AC is blowing warm air, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of air coming out of the ducts at all, or the unit cycles on and off a lot, you may have a broken compressor. Call a pro to check out your system. </p></div>

"My experience with Pierce was outstanding from start to finish. When my AC went out during the worst heat spell of the year, I was honestly stressed and worried about finding someone who wouldn?t overcharge me or cut corners. From the moment I called Prolific Construction, Pierce was responsive, kind, and honest. He took the time to listen to what was going on before he even showed up, which already told me he cared about doing things thoroughly. When he arrived, he was right on time?no waiting around for a vague window. He got straight to work, explaining what he was checking and why in clear, simple terms that made me feel informed and empowered. I never once felt like I was being upsold on anything I didn?t need. Pierce is one of those rare professionals who values transparency, and that?s so refreshing. He found the problem quickly and had the parts ready to fix it on the spot. My house was cooling down before he even left the driveway. Prolific Construction will take care ofyou"
