How preseason Air Conditioning tune-ups will ensure year-round comfort

You might think that your air conditioning system is running just fine, but the truth is that it could be in need of some serious maintenance. If you want to ensure your home stays cool this summer, then you should consider investing in a professional AC tune-up. Here are some of the benefits of getting an HVAC tune-up before the start of summer:

How to tell if your AC system is ready for the summer

If you want to ensure your air conditioning system is ready for the summer, then you should look out for these signs that need a professional tune-up. Here are some important things to consider

• Age of your AC. Most air conditioners last about 10 years, with some lasting 20 or more. If yours is older than that, it's probably time to replace it.

• Efficiency rating of your AC. A high-efficiency system uses up to 30% less energy than a standard unit and can reduce electricity bills by as much as 25%. It also lasts longer because it doesn't have to work as hard in order to maintain the temperature set on your thermostat.

• Ductwork: Make sure there are no holes or leaks in ducts that allow warm outdoor air into the house.

• Filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency; according to manufacturers such as Goodman Manufacturing Company Inc., contaminates like dust and dirt clog coils faster when they're combined with hot summertime temperatures.

• Thermostat: Be sure you've set up your thermostat properly so that it works efficiently during this time of year (see our article for step-by-step instructions).

• Refrigerant level/capacity: If you suspect there may be a leak somewhere in your system—and most refrigerant leaks occur outside of where they should be located (like under concrete slabs instead)—then call us immediately before any further damage occurs.

Why you should invest in professional maintenance

The summer months can be brutal for those who don't have adequate AC units in their home. Even if the unit is working, it's possible that it may not be running as efficiently as it could be and that's where a professional tune-up comes in. With this type of maintenance, you'll get your system up to par and ready for the hot days ahead.

In addition to preparing your unit for the season ahead, there are additional benefits associated with having an HVAC professional inspect and perform general maintenance on your system throughout the year:

• Convenient: A technician will come out to your home when you need them, saving time and hassle.

• Peace of mind: The knowledge that everything is running properly gives owners peace of mind.

• Safety: It's important to ensure safety features like blower motors are working properly because they're crucial to keeping homes cool.

What to expect from a professional HVAC tune-up

• Inspect the condenser. Condensers are usually located outside and can be easily accessed by a technician. The technician will inspect its exterior surface for any signs of damage or deterioration, including rust or other corrosion. They may also check if there is any debris lodged in between fins, which would impede airflow through the unit and cause it to work harder than necessary.

• Check for leaks on the evaporator coil. If you have an older HVAC system with no indoor air quality (IAQ) sensor, this step may be skipped; however, most newer units include an IAQ sensor that turns off your air conditioning when high levels of moisture appear in your home's ductwork to prevent mold growth within them. In order to do so effectively, these sensors require regular maintenance during a tune-up visit so they can accurately measure moisture levels and keep them lower than dangerous thresholds (elderly people are especially susceptible).

• Examine ductwork for leaks as well as possible problems like improper sizing/too many bends/poor insulation/excessive corrosion from water damage over time due to galvanized metal pipes not being properly cleaned since installation - all of which could result in poor airflow efficiency throughout your home making AC systems work harder than necessary resulting ultimately costing homeowners more money each month on their utility bills! Ducts should also be inspected visually for cracks where pests could gain access, such as rodents crawling through into attic spaces carrying diseases into homes frequented by children who could become ill from exposure!

Getting an AC tune-up before the summer will ensure your home stays cool this year.

When you schedule a preseason air conditioning tune-up for your home, the result is an AC system that runs efficiently and costs less to run. The best part is that you save money on energy bills without even changing your lifestyle. If you have ever wondered how to save on your cooling bill, this article will cover it all.

Bottom Line

In conclusion, having your AC system tuned up before the summer is a good investment. If you want to ensure it lasts for years without any problems, then get it checked by a professional. Start by giving us a call and let the experts handle it!
