As springtime starts, you might be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Magnolia? Especially if your air conditioning unit is newer or was running well last summer.

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

The same applies for your AC. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving parts. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can wear out.

Having your equipment checked annually by a JTech Mechanical professional can help spot little issues before they lead to large malfunctions. (And cause your AC to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service intricate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate inside your equipment can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these problems can create higher energy needs—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and might even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly electricity costs and over the years, because you won’t have to replace your equipment as fast.
  4. It helps identify little problems before they become big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will keenly examine parts and complete a series of AC performance tests. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify troubles before they turn into big problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free cooling throughout the warmest days. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your unit is ready to deliver worry-free cooling. 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 require regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this maintenance, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
