When we think of life’s necessities, an AC tune up doesn’t necessarily come to mind. Your air conditioner may run fine for a while whether someone looks at it or not. But a tune up has many benefits especially given the demand on your HVAC system throughout the year. Annual tune ups are fine for new systems; if you have an older air conditioner, consider having it checked in the spring and fall to ensure it’s in working order.
At Nexgen, we offer comprehensive maintenance programs that cover all the essentials. Our technicians are trained to properly inspect, service, and repair all types of air conditioning systems. We also know tune ups are important because of:
As the weather warms up, you’ll be using your AC every day. This can exert a lot of strain if you haven’t used it for several months. Performing minor adjustments and addressing small issues will mean the system won’t work as hard. It may run less to achieve the same cool temperature, cutting down energy costs.
Many AC problems start small but get progressively worse. You might not notice the signs. However, an AC technician can find minor problems and fix them on the spot, so they won’t turn into larger problems that require expensive repairs. Roughly 95% of HVAC system breakdowns are preventable with regular maintenance and tune-ups.
A poorly maintained air conditioner may provide little or no cool air. Air distribution can be affected as well. With an AC tune up, the system will better regulate the temperature of your home, so your family stays comfortable.
Many HVAC warranties require regular maintenance to continue covering your AC system. If you skip professional maintenance, this can void the manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty provider may deny your repair claim and you’ll end up having to pay the full price of repairs or replace the system.
When tuning up the system, a technician will change the air filter, clean out components, and vacuum out ductwork. This reduces the amount of dust and allergens in the air. You’ll feel better and your HVAC system will run smoother.
When you need big AC repairs, chances are something is causing components to wear out. If you’ve had one major repair, there are likely other issues brewing. Tune ups will keep the system running smoothly, which has proven to translate to a longer equipment lifespan.
We strongly recommend scheduling regular tune ups. But contact Nexgen if you notice your air conditioner acting strangely in any of these ways:
