Do you dread the summer heat? If your air conditioner isn't up to the task of keeping your home cool, you may be in for a long, hot season. But don't worry! A simple annual tune-up of your air conditioner can make all the difference. It is recommended that a professional heating and cooling technician inspects the air conditioner at least once a year, even if there are no major issues. If an air conditioner unit hasn't been serviced for several years, the cost of repairs can be much higher than if you had to service it annually.
A full air conditioning service should last around an hour, as long as the air conditioner does not require any additional repair. During this time, the technician will check for dirty or loose electrical connections, leaks, or broken safety devices. The technician will also adjust the heating before winter and clean drains. When the air conditioner tune-up is complete, your HVAC professional will provide homeowners with a report on the status of the system. An air conditioner tune-up saves money by avoiding extensive repairs (if not all repairs), which almost always cost more than preventive tune-ups.
If you live in a hot, humid climate where you rely heavily on air conditioning, you can increase the frequency with which you check your air conditioner to twice a year for greater peace of mind. When your air conditioner works at its best, you'll sleep better and enjoy more time outside. You'll also feel less stressed, as an air conditioner tune-up can help extend the life of your system by spotting small problems before they turn into big problems.
