As warmer weather begins, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Heflin? Especially if your AC system is newer or was running just fine last summer.

Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t buy a brand-new vehicle and never expect to request any maintenance for it, such as putting in fresh oil or buying new tires.

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving pieces. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving components can wear out.

Having your system checked seasonally by a Bain Heating & Air Conditioning tech 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 equipment clean. Since your cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate in your unit can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy use—and a bigger energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your system’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and might even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, since you won’t have to get new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps pinpoint little issues before they lead to big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will keenly examine components and complete a series of air conditioning performance tests. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into major issues that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to give worry-free cooling. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this tune-up, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
