The Benefits of Regular AC Tune-Ups

Your air conditioning system needs a lot of care in order for it to work its best. Forgetting to schedule service can lead to several problems, some of which can be expensive. Regular tune-ups can have many benefits for both your system and your wallet. Here are a few of these benefits.

• TUNE-UPS MAKE YOUR SYSTEM EFFICIENT

Many things can get in the way of your AC working as efficiently as it can. Worn out mechanical parts, a dirty air filter, or dirt and dust clinging to the system can cause it to have to work harder to produce cold air and transfer it to your home. A tune-up is a good way to ensure that there is no wear and tear, buildup, or dust on any of the components.

• TUNE-UPS MINIMIZE REPAIRS

Every AC system will need its share of repairs over its lifespan. However, expensive repairs that happen without warning can usually be prevented through regular maintenance. During a tune-up appointment, a licensed technician can usually find problems before they escalate into something more serious. Not only does this lead to fewer repairs, but it can also cause them to be less serious.

• TUNE-UPS EXTEND AN AC’S LIFESPAN

When your system has a tune-up regularly, it will continue providing reliable cooling for your home for many years. The lifespan of your system is increased when it is given the best care, and this fact is reflected in most manufacturer’s warranties. A warranty can become invalid if the owner of the unit has failed to have routine service done.

When Should You Schedule a Tune-Up?

You should be having your system inspected, cleaned, and lubricated every year. It is up to the homeowner to find a time of the year that works best for them, but we usually recommend that you have your system serviced by a Jennings Heating and Cooling technician at the end of the winter or in the early spring. This allows you to complete any necessary repairs and have your AC running at peak efficiency before the first hot day. Whenever you choose to schedule your tune-up, be sure to put a reminder on your calendar for the same time next year so that your system can continue to have exemplary care.

What Happens During Maintenance Appointments

Your air conditioner is made up of many different components. Most systems contain an evaporator, compressor, condenser coil, blower, thermostat, electrical connections, and safety controls. They each have their role to play and they all need to be in the best condition to keep the unit running safely and efficiently. During our appointments, we run a series of checks on these components, clean the system inside and out, remove buildup, lubricate mechanical parts, check refrigerant levels, and check safety controls and electrical connections. Once everything seems to be in perfect condition, we run the system to check cooling cycles and make sure it is working properly.
