Air conditioners are easy to take for granted, until the day one stops working. A regular AC inspection is how you avoid that day. So do you really need them? For a system you depend on through a Spokane summer, yes. Here’s why.
What an AC Inspection Catches
An inspection is a checkup, not a repair. A tech looks over the whole system, the refrigerant level, the coils, the electrical components, and the airflow, and flags anything wearing out or trending toward trouble before it actually breaks.
Why It’s Worth It
It prevents breakdowns
The majority of summer emergency calls are problems an inspection would have caught months earlier. Finding them early means fixing them on your schedule, not during a heat wave.
It keeps efficiency up
Small issues like a slightly low charge or dirty coils quietly raise your energy bills. An inspection catches the efficiency drains you’d never notice yourself.
It extends the system’s life
Catching wear early and keeping the system clean adds years before you’re paying for a replacement.
How Often?
Once a year is the standard for AC, ideally in spring before cooling season. If your system is older or runs hard, it’s even more worth staying on top of.
Schedule an Inspection
A yearly look-over is cheap peace of mind. Bearcat will inspect your system and tell you straight what, if anything, it needs. See our AC maintenance services, or call (509) 891-5110.
