Time to Deploy the AC Troops!
At Matheson, we believe in staying ahead of the game. And in Southeast Michigan, summer can go from “pleasant patio weather” to “is my living room melting?” in what feels like minutes. That’s why May is the perfect month to get your AC ready. It’s not just about beating the heat—it’s about being prepared before it arrives.
Think of May as your pre-season. The calm before the sweaty storm. The window of opportunity where you can check in, tune up and rest easy knowing your home will stay cool no matter how intense the summer gets. For expert AC maintenance in Commerce Township, look no further than the high-flying team of professionals at Matheson.
Timing Is Everything
Let’s be real—Midwest weather is unpredictable at best and downright disrespectful at worst. One day it’s 65 and breezy, and the next you feel like you’re cooking dinner on the surface of the sun. Waiting until it’s already blazing hot to turn on your AC is risky. That first blast of air might bring with it a weird sound, a funky smell or no airflow at all, and no one wants that.
Scheduling your tune-up in May means giving your system time to stretch, breathe and get in shape. A small issue now—like a low refrigerant level or a clogged drain line—can be a full-blown breakdown by July. Early maintenance helps you avoid mid-summer emergencies and keeps your home cool without surprise interruptions.
Maximum Chill. Minimum Stress.
A proper tune-up isn’t just a quick look under the hood. At Matheson, it’s a detailed inspection and servicing of your entire cooling system, handled by trained professionals who know what they’re doing—and care about doing it right.
During your annual AC tune-up, we will:
- Apply protective coating to the outdoor unit
- Wash the outdoor condenser coil
- Examine the evaporator coil
- Clear & treat the condensate drains
- Check the air filtration system
- Adjust the blower components
- Lubricate moving parts as required
- Scan for refrigerant leaks
- Tighten the electrical connections
- Test the system starting capabilities
- Observe the amperage & voltage
Each step is designed to maximize your system’s performance and minimize the chance of failure when you need it most. It’s the kind of proactive care that helps your system keep its cool—so you can keep yours.
May is also a smart time to schedule because—let’s be honest—it’s not peak panic season yet. Once the first big heat wave rolls in, HVAC companies’ phones start ringing off the hook. Early appointments are easier to book, and you’re less likely to end up on a waiting list when you really need service. And if you’re thinking about upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient unit, May also puts you in a great position. Manufacturers often roll out rebates and special financing options before peak season begins—so you can score savings while boosting comfort.
Your air conditioner isn’t just a summer accessory—it’s an essential system that works hard behind the scenes. Regular maintenance can extend its lifespan, reduce your energy bills and improve efficiency. In other words, a tune-up now helps your system go the distance.
