Really hot weather is still a couple of months away, but it’s never too early to think about whether your central air conditioning system can make it through 1 more summer. Spring is the perfect time to call a qualified service technician to give your system a once-over.
Giving your AC system an annual tuneup can:
- Reduce unexpected repairs. Even if your service tech recommends a repair during the process, it’s still a repair you can make on your terms, rather than when it becomes necessary in the middle of summer.
- Lower utility bills. A clean AC system is going to run more efficiently than a dirty one.
- Extend the life of your system. AC systems that are regularly maintained can last 15 years or more. Systems that aren’t maintained won’t last longer than 10.
- Provide greater comfort during the summer. Just 1 tuneup a year is enough to ensure your AC system can provide reliable cooling throughout the entire home.
- Keep parts warranties valid. Most AC manufacturers void your warranty if system maintenance isn’t performed annually by a professional.
