As spring rolls around, you could be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Kankakee? Especially if your cooling system is recently purchased or was running just fine last year.

Here’s one approach to look at it. You wouldn’t purchase a brand-new vehicle and never anticipate to request any maintenance for it, such as putting in fresh oil or getting new tires.

The same applies for your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving parts. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can malfunction.

Having your system checked seasonally by a Home Furniture, Plumbing & Heating specialist can help spot minor issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your equipment to stop working!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your air conditioner is located outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can majorly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service complicated internal parts.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate in your equipment can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these troubles can create higher energy consumption—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and may even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly electricity costs and over the years, since you won’t have to get new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps pinpoint little problems before they lead to big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will closely examine parts and complete a set of AC performance checks. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into extensive problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free comfort throughout the summer. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your unit is ready to deliver worry-free cooling. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this work, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
