Late Maintenance Is Always a Good Option

September 23rd, 2024

AC maintenance can be a tricky subject, especially when it’s not the middle of the summer. It seems like an obvious choice when your air conditioner is running 24/7 to keep you and your family comfortable, but once the heat dies down a little bit, it can seem like the hard part is over.

Even if it’s late in the season, we’d still recommend AC maintenance in Kelowna, BC for the following reasons.
