A/C Unit Maintenance

[Grant Francke]

Do you all have your A/C units looked at/worked on in the spring for preventative maintenance? Didn't know if it would make sense to have them all looked at to hopefully cut down on calls through out the summer. Thanks!

@Grant Francke - We did this for a time, but found it created too much unnecessary moving parts and noise in our office. Tenants complained about issues only because a representative of the owner was in their home. And we tried simply sending air filters so we didn't have to send a tech. That doesn't work, either. They either toss filters out or we'd find them sitting in a closet after they moved.

It's the 80/20 rule. 80% of your tenants won't even replace burnt out light bulbs so they won't replace air filters. And we didn't find the maintenance to save us on anything more than what maintenance when they move out does.
