As warmer weather rolls around, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Smyrna? Especially if your air conditioning system is up-to-date or was running well last summer.

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 getting new tires.

The same is applicable to your air conditioning. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving parts. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can fail.

Having your unit checked yearly by a Fletcher Plumbing, Heating & AC professional can help spot little issues before they turn into large meltdowns. (And cause your air conditioning to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your air conditioner is placed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service intricate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate in your equipment can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy consumption—and a higher energy bill!
  3. It could prolong your system’s life span. A clean AC 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 electricity costs and over the years, as you won’t have to get new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps identify little problems before they lead to big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will closely examine parts and complete a set of cooling performance checks. These in-depth procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into large problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your equipment is ready to give worry-free cooling. 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 valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this work, your unit is open to premature breakdowns and limited efficiency.
