As springtime starts, you could be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Athol? Even if your AC unit is newer or was running good last year.

Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t buy a brand-new car and never anticipate to request any work for it, such as putting in fresh oil or purchasing new tires.

The same applies for your air conditioning. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving pieces. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving parts can wear out.

Having your unit checked annually by a Alpine Summit Heating & Cooling pro can help spot small issues before they become large malfunctions. (And cause your unit to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can majorly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service delicate internal components.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate within your unit can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can lead to higher energy consumption—and a higher cooling bill!
  3. It could extend your equipment’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and could even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, as you won’t have to get new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps determine little issues before they lead to big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine pieces and complete a cycle of AC performance tests. These in-depth procedures often allow us to locate issues before they turn into large troubles that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free comfort throughout the summer. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your system is ready to give worry-free cooling. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this work, your unit is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
