No matter the time of year or what\u2019s going on in the world,\nyou deserve to be comfortable in your home. A big contributor to that comfort\nis your HVAC system. Is your air conditioner in good shape? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the time of year we recommend a spring tune-up for\nyour system! Just like maintenance for your vehicle, routine air conditioning\nmaintenance is essential to the performance of the cooling system, and\nimportant to preventing huge repair needs. Read on to learn more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Maintenance Does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance enables our service professionals to come in and\nvery thoroughly clean the interior components of your system\u2014whether it be your\nair conditioner in the spring or your heater in the fall\u2014in order to make sure\nit is able to perform as efficiently as possible. Additionally, we inspect the\nair conditioner and check for components that need adjusting, repair, or even\nreplacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, maintenance serves to improve the performance and\nlongevity of your air conditioning system, and we really cannot understate the\nimportance of this service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Is the Best Time to Schedule a Tune-Up! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, we advise that our customers schedule an\nair conditioner tune-up right before they need the system the most. This would\nput you in early spring\u2014so right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the time <\/em>of\nyear is actually less important than the frequency\n<\/em>in which you have maintenance done. You should be getting air conditioner\ntune-ups at least once a year\u2026 twice a year if you have a two-in-one heat pump\nHVAC system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we do live in an area that seriously stresses out our\ncooling systems, you might even consider having yours checked out more often.\nBut in order to maintain your manufacturer\u2019s warranty, once annually is\nsufficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve Your Home Comfort, and Your Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons to invest in annual maintenance\nis to maintain your comfort and the comfort of your household. Over the years,\nAC systems start performing less and less effectively and efficiently. The\ncomponents begin wearing down due to natural wear and tear. This is akin to\nwhat would happen in your car if you skipped auto maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional air conditioning tune-ups help keep you safe,\nas well. This isn\u2019t to say air conditioners are dangerous\u2014they aren\u2019t by nature.\nHowever, there are components within the air conditioner that could <\/em>be harmful, if you were to try to\nattempt AC maintenance on your own or have an amateur perform the service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, refrigerant is the chemical that makes the cooling process possible. If you have a leak, the refrigerant is harmful to not only your air conditioning system but to anyone who comes in contact with it, as well. You\u2019re less likely to have a problem like this, however, if you keep up on maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
