Spring is the perfect time to get your air conditioning unit in shape before the heat of summer. There are a few key areas that you should check so that your HVAC system will keep your home comfortable all season long. Below are several reasons to call for maintenance in spring.

Benefits of a Spring Tuneup for Your AC

1. Better Air Quality

One of the most significant reasons to give your air conditioning unit an annual tuneup is to improve your home’s air quality. A technician will purge the interior and exterior components of dust and grime, so they don’t blow around your living space. They also change or clean the filter, which ensures that as cold air blows through, allergens are not circulating.

2. Preventive Maintenance

Regular maintenance from an expert helps detect trouble with your system early, which prevents expensive repairs later. Experts will not only clean and tighten parts, but they will test vital areas like the compressor to ensure they are running properly. They will also check electrical connections to guarantee circuits are not overloading.

3. Efficiency

A clean, well-maintained system is a more efficient one. Efficiency means you are using less energy to cool your home, which is better for the environment and your pocket. When an air conditioner is in disrepair, it must work harder to maintain your ideal settings, and that consumes more energy.

4. Life Span Extension

If you want to keep your air conditioner running for a long time, a tuneup will help. Regular cleaning and maintenance keep parts working, so you don’t have to replace your system prematurely. You will get the full life span of your unit and avoid worrying that it will break down when the heat is high.

5. Warranty

Many manufacturers require annual maintenance to keep warranties valid. If your warranty becomes invalid, you may be responsible for expensive repairs that would have been covered otherwise.
