As warmer weather rolls around, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Cache Valley? Even if your cooling unit is recently installed or was running good last year.

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

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

Having your equipment checked seasonally by a Western Mechanical, Inc. pro can help spot minor issues before they turn into large malfunctions. (And cause your AC to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your air conditioner is located outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can majorly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service delicate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate within your system can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy consumption—and a higher energy bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and may even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly energy costs and over the years, because you won’t have to get new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps determine little problems before they become big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine parts and complete a set of AC performance verifications. These detailed procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into large problems that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your unit is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the warmest 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 tune-up, your system is open to advanced breakdowns and limited efficiency.
