5 Reasons to Get a Home Air Conditioning Tune up in Spring

Warmer weather means it’s time to dust off the air-conditioner and help cool your home. Before you switch your system from “heat” to “cool,” have you scheduled a spring tune-up?

Chances are, the first time you run the a/c, it will blow cold air. However, without letting an HVAC technician perform seasonal maintenance on your system, your a/c could strain to start again and run efficiently after a winter of sitting idle.

Don’t risk damage to your HVAC system! Check out these five reasons why you need a home air conditioning tune up.

1. Catch Potential Problems Early

The last time you used it, your air-conditioner ran fine! So, if you haven’t run your a/c in several months, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be okay to run fine now, too.

That’s optimistic, but not always true.

An a/c that sits without running throughout the winter could struggle to function properly when you start it up again in the spring. You might not realize there’s a problem until you turn it on for the first time or let it run a few times when the weather gets warmer.

A spring tune-up helps you catch problems early — before they become an expensive repair!

2. Improve Your Air Quality

The first time you run the a/c, you might notice a sour smell. Because no air moved through the compressor, and nothing drained through the drainage pipes, you could have mold or mildew buildup in your system.

A spring tune-up includes cleaning the areas you can’t reach (or wouldn’t think to clean) when you use your a/c. This helps clean air flow through your home!

3. Electrical Safety

Without a tune-up, your a/c could become an electrical safety hazard. Have you ever turned something on that suddenly stopped working, or refused to work? It could be an electrical issue.

Electrical fires from bad wiring are one of the leading causes of residential building fires. Your HVAC technician can check for bad wiring during an air conditioning tune up.

4. Save Money

Regular maintenance can save you from expensive repairs. If you’ve gone several seasons without a tune-up, and you feel like you’re saving money on the cost of a/c maintenance, you’re risking a sudden malfunction and repair costs.

HVAC system repairs often cost more than what you’ll spend on routine maintenance. Don’t try to save money by skipping tune-ups! It cost you more in the long run.

5. Prolong the Life of Your A/C

Even if you’re A/C is new, you need regular maintenance to keep it running well for the long haul! You can extend the life of your HVAC system and prolong your next replacement by scheduling a technician to perform a tune-up every spring.
