I have a soon to be five year old AC. do you recommend a service call for cleaning etc. Thanks Nancy/Florida



Central system, I assume. Likewise that you change filters monthly- best contribution you can make.

Yes. To check proper, efficient operation, and head off probs. First, take your time to find a competent, honest company, if there are any in your area- BBB, Angie's, whatever.

Others will have suggestions as to frequency of such service in your area; annually may be best initially.

You'd be well served to learn what you should be looking for in your own regular once-overs of the system, too. And how to check/clean condensate drain, clean debris from heat-exchs., etc.

If it's a split system, yes. If it's a window unit just run it till it dies, and throw it out. Buy another.
