As spring begins, you could be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Delray Beach? Especially if your AC equipment is up-to-date or was running good last season.
Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t buy a brand-new vehicle and never have to request any service for it, such as putting in fresh oil or purchasing new tires.
The same is applicable to your air conditioner. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving pieces. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving parts can fail.
Having your equipment checked yearly by a Kilbourne Heating & AC tech can help spot small issues before they lead to large malfunctions. (And cause your unit to stop running!)
Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring
- It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service delicate internal components.
- It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate within your equipment can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can create higher energy use—and a more expensive cooling bill!
- It could extend your equipment’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and could even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, because you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
- It helps determine little issues before they turn into big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will closely examine parts and complete a series of cooling performance tests. These in-depth procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into large troubles that result in a pricey repair bill.
- It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your unit is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your system is ready to provide worry-free cooling. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
- It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this maintenance, your system is open to premature breakdowns and limited efficiency.
