As warmer weather starts, you may be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Athol? Particularly if your air conditioning equipment is recently purchased or was running good last summer.

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

The same applies for your air conditioner. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving components. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can wear out.

Having your unit checked annually by a Alpine Summit Heating & Cooling technician can help spot minor issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your unit to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can majorly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your system can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy needs—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could prolong your unit’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and may even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly electricity costs and over the years, since you won’t have to install new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps find little issues before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will carefully examine components and complete a set of air conditioning performance verifications. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into big issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free cooling throughout the warmest days. After your AC is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your equipment is ready to provide worry-free comfort. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this tune-up, your system is open to premature breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
