As springtime starts, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Magnolia? Particularly if your air conditioning system is up-to-date or was running well last year.

Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t get a brand-new automobile and never expect to request any work for it, such as putting in fresh oil or purchasing new tires.

The same affects your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving parts. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can wear out.

Having your equipment checked yearly by a JTech Mechanical expert can help spot minor issues before they turn into large malfunctions. (And cause your system to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your air conditioner is installed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can majorly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your system can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these issues can lead to higher energy use—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and could even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, because you won’t have to get new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps pinpoint little troubles before they turn into big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will carefully examine components and complete a series of AC performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to locate issues before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free comfort throughout the warmest days. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to deliver worry-free air. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
