If there are things wrong with your AC, then there are many reasons why you should have it repaired. Even if you don't need to use the air conditioning at the moment, there are reasons for having the problem fixed shortly after determining there is a problem. Here are some of the many reasons why you would want to have the AC fixed, even when not currently in use.

You know it's going to work when you need it to work

When you have the AC fixed as soon as you know there is a problem with it, then you won't risk forgetting about the problem until it's very hot one day and you want to turn it on. When you wait until it's hot out to have the issue fixed, then you will be trying to make your appointment at the same time that other people are noticing their AC systems have problems and this can make it more difficult for you to get someone out right away. When you have the problem fixed before you need it, you won't get stuck in a very hot house. 

Some problems can't wait to be fixed

Some problems might be okay to sit in place for a half a year or so and not get worse. However, there are other issues that can become worse if the problem isn't fixed. For example, if there is an electrical issue that's going on with the AC, then you are not going to want to let an electrical issue sit and wait until later on. Leaving the problem unrepaired for months means living with an electrical issue that can put you, your family, your home, and all of your belongings at risk. Also, if there is a problem with a belt that's been chewed or a fan blade that's been damaged due to rodents in the housing, then not having things looked at can allow the rodents to remain in place to chew up or destroy more of the components in the housing. When fixed early, you can also tend to the rodent issue to prevent further damage.

A non-working AC system can cause issues during a home sale

If you end up putting your home up for sale, then you want to have the AC working. If the air conditioning system isn't working, then this will be a negative thing that the buyers will be keeping in mind while they look for houses. While it may not even be an expensive fix, the idea of needing to have something repaired right away is something that most buyers don't like the thought of.
