The Top 3 Reasons to Schedule an AC Tune-Up in the Spring
Springtime is that unique time of year when we transition from the heater to the AC. It's hard to tell one weekend from the next whether you'll be wrapping up in a sweater or playing in the sprinklers. During this season, there are just a few crisp days when all you need are a few fans and the temperature is just perfect. This is also the perfect time to schedule a tune-up for your air conditioner—before the first heatwave kicks your cooling unit into high gear.
Changing seasons is always an important time to get your HVAC system an inspection and regular tune-up. You are about to put your heater away for the summer and turn your AC on high. To avoid a fiasco when your family needs cool air most, a professional tune-up can ensure your AC unit is ready to perform - and not currently housing a bird's nest or hiding a broken fan.
Let's take a closer look at why to schedule an AC tuneup this spring.
Reliable AC Performance on the Hottest Days
Spring is the perfect time to maintain your AC, just before the first heatwave hits and every AC in the neighborhood hums to life. This gives you a chance to have the unit looked over, cleaned, and repaired before anything has a chance to go wrong. If sticks have fallen or grown into your outdoor unit or there's been damage to your coolant line, an early inspection can save you money on damage that doesn't happen when the unit is turned on.
You can also rest assured that after the tune-up, your AC is ready to perform reliably for the rest of the summer. This means that when you need your AC most of all, on the hottest days of summer, you don't have to worry about an unexpected AC breakdown.
Save Money on Summer Electricity
A well-maintained AC unit is also more energy-efficient. When your compressor is full of leaves, the filter is clogged, or your coil is covered in dust, your AC will work harder than it needs to. Your blower fans need to be in good working order and your wires and coolant tubes should be undamaged.
When everything is in good working order, the system reduces the energy needed to cool your house. This can result in lower energy bills for every month this summer. If you follow the recommendations of your technician for regular care and new filter intervals, your AC will work efficiently all summer long.
Spend More Quality Time with Family
There's a big difference between a working AC and an AC that is sputtering to an end. When your AC has been maintained in the Spring, you can spend your entire summer focusing on family time and relaxation instead of constantly worrying about AC repairs or an overheated house.
A well-maintained AC provides superior air quality and safety at home for every member of the family, and good air balancing ensures that each room stays comfortably cool throughout the season.
