Schedule an Air Conditioner Tune-up Today and Save! Have you heard HVAC contractor ads for an air conditioner tune-up and wondered what all the fuss was about? Tune-ups help homeowners get their air conditioners ready for the summer heat, and they should give you peace of mind that your A/C will work as efficiently and durably as possible — even when scorching summer temperatures place extreme Dan Jape demands on the unit. The good news is that tune-ups are a cost-effective way to keep your system in good operating condition. Investing in the service every year pays off in terms of lower operating costs and a longer service life for the A/C unit. Many manufacturers void warranties if an A/C hasn’t been serviced. They know that tune-ups help the individual components inside the system last longer so the system’s total life span is longer. If you purchased a warranty for your air conditioner, you could risk voiding it if you don’t schedule annual service appointments and keep records of the service. Be sure to ask your HVAC company about a maintenance agreement and the requirements when installing a new systems.
Manufacturers assign an efficiency rating, called a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), to all A/C units based on tests under ideal running conditions. If conditions are not ideal, the A/C won’t achieve its highest-possible efficiency. Lessthan-ideal conditions can include a leaky home or too little insulation, but these conditions also extend to factors such as dirt buildup on the coils and too little refrigerant. Checking for these conditions, as well as cleaning the outside unit, is something a technician will do during a tune-up to ensure the system operates as efficiently as possible. Inspect, clean, or change air filters once a month in your central air conditioner, furnace, and/or heat pump. A dirty filter can increase energy costs and damage your equipment, leading to early failure. When your A/C is running well, it uses less energy to cool your home. Lower energy use means bigger savings for you on your monthly utility bills. An air conditioner tune-up will save you lots of money in both the long and short term…and provide peace of mind.
