As springtime starts, you may be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Crystal and Twin Cities? Especially if your air conditioning equipment is up-to-date or was running well last summer.

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

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving pieces. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving components can break down.

Having your system checked seasonally by a GV Heating & Air pro can help spot little issues before they turn into large meltdowns. (And cause your air conditioning to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your AC is placed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can greatly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service delicate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can lead to higher energy use—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could extend your equipment’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and might even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly electricity costs and over the years, since you won’t have to install new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps find little troubles before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will closely examine components and complete a series of cooling performance tests. These detailed procedures often allow us to locate troubles before they turn into major troubles that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your system is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the hottest 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 going. Without this service, your system is open to advanced breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
