Wouldn’t it be lovely if everything was always in perfect condition, without requiring any upkeep from us? Our cars would run with no need for oil changes.

But here we are, in imperfect reality, where things come undone, get dirty, and need oil. Your air conditioner is one of those things. How can you make sure your AC unit stays in good shape? With annual maintenance. What happens if you don’t get maintenance? We’ll tell you all about it.
