As springtime rolls around, you may be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Crystal and Twin Cities? Particularly if your AC unit is newer or was running well last summer.

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

The same affects your air conditioner. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can malfunction.

Having your system checked seasonally by a GV Heating & Air specialist can help spot minor issues before they lead to large malfunctions. (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 cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can negatively affect your system’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 debris that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy needs—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and may even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly energy costs and over the years, as you won’t have to replace your equipment as soon.
  4. It helps pinpoint little issues before they turn into big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will closely examine parts and complete a series of AC performance tests. These detailed procedures often allow us to locate troubles before they turn into major troubles that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free operation throughout the warmest days. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to give worry-free comfort. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this work, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
