As spring starts, you may be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Laurel? Even if your air conditioning system is up-to-date or was running well last summer.

Here’s one method to look at it. You wouldn’t buy a brand-new automobile and never have to request any maintenance for it, such as putting in fresh oil or purchasing new tires.

The same affects your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving pieces. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving parts can fail.

Having your equipment checked annually by a H&C Heating and Cooling expert can help spot little issues before they lead to large malfunctions. (And cause your AC to stop working!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is placed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can negatively affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service delicate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate within your equipment can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these issues can cause higher energy use—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could extend your equipment’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and might even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, since you won’t have to replace your equipment as fast.
  4. It helps determine little troubles before they lead to big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will closely examine pieces and complete a set of air conditioning performance verifications. These in-depth procedures often allow us to find issues before they turn into extensive problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the warmest days. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to provide worry-free comfort. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to premature breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
