What Benefits Should I Expect From a Spring AC Tune-Up?
The weather is changing, you are heating your home less and spring is in the air. As you begin to rely upon your air conditioning more than your furnace to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, it is important to make sure that your systems are operating at peak efficiencies. That’s why we recommend our customers consider an annual AC tune-up to prepare for the warm days to come. It is not uncommon for homeowners to consider this type of annual service to be unnecessary if their system is not exhibiting any problems. With that said, it is our position that these tune-ups will pay dividends in both the near-term and long-term. Here are a few of the top benefits you can expect:
Lower Cooling Costs:
Did you know that an annual AC tune-up can actually lower your monthly energy bill? You might not look forward to the upfront expense with this service, but it can have a great impact on the overall efficiency of your system. When your AC unit is operating at peak performance it will actually require less energy to cool your home. In contrast, if your system has an underlying issue it will likely be reflected on your monthly energy bill (even if there are no visual indicators that anything is wrong with the system). Simply put: Preventative maintenance is almost always cheaper than repairs.
Increased Comfort:
Does your system cool your home evenly? If you’ve noticed that there are hot and cold spots in your home, it is quite likely that a tune-up could identify the source of the problem. You should be able to expect consistent cool temperatures across your home when your unit is functioning properly. It is also important to understand that an AC tune-up is scheduled much more easily during the spring than it is during the intense heat of summer. The hottest days of the year are just around the corner, which is why you will want to uncover potential problems now as opposed to during the peak of summer.
An Extended System Lifespan:
Rarely do high quality HVAC systems come with low price tags. The reality is that every system will need to be replaced, but that’s not to say you can’t take action to postpone that inevitability. When you prioritize annual tune-ups, you are in theory adding years onto your system’s lifespan. The price of these systems become much more reasonable when you are able to amortize the cost over 15 to 20 years. When you choose an Aero Energy AC tune-up you can expect the following included:
- Visually inspect area around the system
- Visually inspect and replace air filter (if necessary)
- Examine system safety controls
- Clean blower components
- Evaluate the system airflow
- Visually inspect all electrical connections
- Examine/clean all moving parts
- Evaluate the refrigerant charge
- Clean evaporator coils and condenser
- Examine the condensate tray
