As springtime begins, you could be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Mount Horeb? Even if your air conditioning unit is recently purchased or was running good last summer.

Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t get a brand-new car 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 air conditioning. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving components. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving parts can malfunction.

Having your unit checked seasonally by a JW Brager Heating and Cooling tech can help spot minor issues before they become large malfunctions. (And cause your air conditioning to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your cooling system is located outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, 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 components.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy use—and a higher cooling bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and might even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to buy new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps locate little problems before they become big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will keenly examine components and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance checks. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into big issues that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free cooling throughout the summer. After your AC is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to give worry-free air. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this maintenance, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
