Are AC Tune-Ups Worth It?

Scheduling annual AC maintenance is useful.

Maintenance keeps your air conditioning system in Elkhart running at its best performance while keeping utility consumption small. It also could even help prolong its life span.

While there are several things you can do by yourself, you should hire Experts, like the ones at BW/Cook Service Experts, for AC examinations and maintenance.

Here are a few steps you can complete alone as you prepare for cooling season.

Get Your AC Checkup Scheduled

Spring is a season of revival, and to many that involves a hefty dose of indoors, garage and yard freshening. With the warmer temperatures approaching, it’s also a great idea to add AC service on that listing.

Spring is the best season to get your AC system cleaned and examined. Delaying to turn it on until the first warm day of the season can be dicey. If you have to have a fix or installation, you could be waiting a long time for an appointment. And that may become extremely unpleasant.

And for allergy sufferers, being ahead of the game with a fresh air conditioning system will help provide the best indoor air quality while it’s pollen season.

Also, AC upkeep could be required for your unit’s manufacturer warranty or any extra extended warranty.

Can I Finish a Tune-Up Myself?

There are methods that you can do to help keep your AC unit in the prime order:

  • Change your air filter advises each month or two. This is particularly crucial if you have been diagnosed with allergies or have pets in your house.
  • Lawn upkeep by the exterior condenser. Check there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes near your air conditioning system. We suggest keeping 2–3 feet of open room. You should also remove any leaves or sticks that have dropped into your unit, since this could limit airflow.
