Most homeowners aren’t sure whether they’ll need an air-conditioner tune-up right before the warm weather is in full swing, but we’re here to tell you that a summertime air conditioner tune-up can make all the difference — and the following four benefits are proof of that!
1. It’s Insurance Against Larger Problems
Suppose that you have a minor problem with your thermostat early on in the season. You may not think much of it because your home still feels mostly cool, and your bills look the same. But two months later, your energy bill reaches a staggering high, and at the worst possible time to boot.
Past You may as well be kicking yourself for not having scheduled an air conditioner tune-up, because catching and fixing small problems to avoid big headaches later on is the entire point of such a service.
It isn’t just large, expensive repairs that an AC tune-up can prevent, either; with one, you’ll be avoiding full breakdowns that could be outright dangerous, depending on the outside temperatures.
2. It Can Improve Air Quality
Most people associate allergies with spring, but for people who suffer from pollen, dander, and even smoke allergies, summer can be just as difficult as the preceding season. Typically, their air-conditioned homes offer a haven of sorts, but when these fail, the results can be overwhelmingly uncomfortable (and unhealthy).
AC maintenance and tune-ups all focus on cleaning each part of the equipment so that it’s clear of particles that would otherwise circulate throughout your home. They also involve replacing your unit’s filters, which is arguably the most important element of maintaining good indoor air quality.
3. It Can Help Your System Last Longer
No one wants to replace their air conditioning system while it’s still in its prime. Yet that’s exactly what happens when homeowners push it through the summer without a tune-up: These systems lose their luster within a few years and eventually fall apart altogether.
However, calling for a professional air conditioner tune-up at least once a year (ideally before summer) can extend their lifespans and stave off early and unwanted HVAC failures.
4. You Can Maintain the Warranty
If you haven’t scheduled your annual AC tune-up yet, you might want to do it before summer arrives, and not just because it’ll make you more comfortable. Many systems require consistent professional maintenance to keep their warranties intact.
Therefore, even though it’s wise to schedule one regardless (because it means your system will go into the most challenging months performing at its best), scheduling an AC maintenance visit even when there isn’t anything technically “wrong” with your HVAC system is generally still worth it for warranty compliance alone.
