Why is Getting an Air Conditioner Tune is a Good Decision for Your Home.
As the temperatures continue to climb and the summer heat draws ever nearer, you have probably seen flyers and advertisements for air conditioning tune-ups from many different companies. It may get you thinking, why do I need a tune-up every year? Your air conditioner worked just fine last year, so what s the point of spending money when everything is fine? Well, I m glad you asked. There are several reasons and here are a few for you to consider.
Your air conditioner was dormant all winter. ——————————————— Yes, your air conditioner worked well when you used it last summer. But that was months ago. During the winter, dust and debris settle on your air conditioner s coils, which can negatively affect your system s efficiency. Other problems can also surface during such a long dormancy. Your unit s refrigerant can leak and the cold can cause electrical problems. An annual air conditioner tune-up is necessary to recharge your air conditioner, clean your coils and ensure safe operation. If you live in Virginia Beach air conditioning during the hot months is vital. Have a licensed professional technician perform key maintenance tasks, including changing all filters (because then your system can move air much more effectively), cleaning and flushing the coils, looking after the unit s drainage, and using a vacuum on the blower segments. Your technician should also check that the system is fully charged with refrigerant, is totally leak-free and all mechanical components are working to their best ability.
A tune-up now is cheaper than a repair later. ———————————————- Every summer, without fail, we get calls from Virginia Beach area homeowners who neglected an air conditioning tune-up and are having problems that could have been prevented. Just as a vehicle without periodic oil changes is sure to have problems, an air conditioning system without regular maintenance is sure to experience issues (breakdowns or inefficient operation). An annual air conditioning tune-up is necessary because regular, preventative maintenance helps prevent costly cooling system problems. Also, as a measure of preventative medicine, you should plants stay at least a few feet from the perimeter of the unit throughout the year. Vegetation can easily get sucked into the unit and slow it down if allowed to grow too closely.
You will save money in other ways, too. —————————————- Besides preventing repairs, the small up front cost of an annual air conditioning tune-up can save you a significant amount of money in other areas as well. Here are a couple of those ways.
Decreased energy bills The Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, ENERGY STAR, and local utility companies all recommend annual air conditioning tune-ups because they increase your cooling system s efficiency. Increased air conditioner lifespan Just as neglecting critical maintenance tasks on your vehicle will likely kill your engine sooner, air conditioners without regular maintenance do not last as long. Get air conditioning tune-ups each year and you will enjoy the maximum life expectancy of your unit.
