Scheduled maintenance has to do with fixing issues only once they occur. This can also be called reactive or breakdown maintenance. The term stems from the need to schedule a maintenance service to deal with the issues that occurred, as opposed to the AC unit already being looked at during a planned appointment. This form of maintenance essentially leaves things to faith, as you pray that nothing will go wrong with your air conditioning system. It leaves you with no control of the situation, as you are not likely to know when an issue will occur as you are forced to react only once it has already happened.

Whether it is a home or business, scheduled maintenance can be costly, as unforeseen issues tend to revolve around important equipment or parts that help your ac unit work efficiently. These parts, unfortunately, tend to be the costly aspects of maintenance and the last thing you want is to be suddenly hit with a large bill due to needed repairs or replacements. It is always better to know what to expect down the road than to be left in the dirt with sudden problems and headaches!
