Summer will be here before you know it, which means you’ll rely on your air conditioner to keep your space comfortable. However, like any appliance, your HVAC system needs routine maintenance to function at its best. Many homeowners don’t schedule their system tuneups and maintenance until summer is in full swing, but this isn’t the best option. Here are a few reasons to schedule your tuneup in spring instead of waiting until the heat sets in.

3 Reasons to Schedule a Springtime Air Conditioner Tuneup

1. More Availability

During the summer, most people think about their air conditioners, so this is a common time to schedule appointments with repair experts. This can make scheduling an appointment—whether it’s for a tuneup or to fix a broken system—incredibly difficult, especially if you have a busy schedule. By making an appointment during spring, your technicians will have more availability and will accommodate your busy schedule.

2. Prevent Breakdowns

Nothing is worse than suffering through the summer heat because your AC unit broke. By scheduling a springtime tuneup, you can catch minor repair issues before they become a major problem. The sooner your air conditioning repair expert can fix the problem, the less risk there is of an unexpected breakdown when summer is in full swing.

3. Improve Energy Efficiency

Even when your AC system isn’t running, it’s still collecting dust and debris. The dirtier the unit gets, the harder the system has to work to keep your space comfortable. During a springtime tuneup, your technician will clean the unit and replace any filters that have collected dust during the winter. This will allow your unit to run more efficiently, keeping your space comfortable without sending your energy bills through the roof.
