Dan Zarrow’s Spring Forward Reminder: This Is the Perfect Time to Check Your A/C

Daylight Saving Time tends to bring up conversations about whether the extra hour of sunlight is worth adjusting the clocks and our schedules. It also comes with reminders to change the batteries in our smoke detectors.

I like to throw one other reminder in the mix: Now is the perfect time to have your home's cooling system checked and complete routine maintenance. We'll inevitably get that first heat wave of the season that inspires everyone to crank on the A/C — and some homeowners will learn their cooling system needs some TLC.

Meyer & Depew Offers Excellent HVAC Service & Early Bird Specials

Don't wait! My friends at Meyer & Depew reward customers who think ahead with early bird deals designed to maximize your cooling system's performance before it's needed and save homeowners money. Save $1,500 on a new system in March and $750 in April — or get a pre-season A/C tune-up for just $69 in March and $79 in April (normally $349).

You might say my advice comes from personal experience. I had to call Meyer & Depew for emergency assistance when my furnace and AC went out suddenly about 7 years ago. Meyer & Depew handled everything in a timely and professional manner, and I like that they are a family-owned business with more than seven decades of providing superior service. I can't recommend them enough.

Why Early Maintenance Is So Important for Air Conditioning & Cooling Systems

That first seasonal heat spike not only tests cooling systems but also makes them more expensive and inconvenient:

• HVAC technicians are flooded with calls, which means tighter scheduling and longer waits
• Regular maintenance helps systems run more efficiently and last longer, both of which can save you money in the long run.
• Small issues can devolve into larger, more expensive issues

So, after you're done checking all your clocks (even the microwave clock and the car radio), give Meyer & Depew a call to get your cooling system prepped for another beautiful New Jersey summer. Call 908-257-8075 or visit meyer-depew.com.
