As warmer weather begins, you might be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Richmond? Particularly if your air conditioning unit is newer or was running well last year.

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

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving parts. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can malfunction.

Having your unit checked annually by a Refrigeration Systems Ltd. technician can help spot minor issues before they turn into large breakdowns. (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 located 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 complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate within your unit can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy use—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and may even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, as you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps determine little issues before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine pieces and complete a set of air conditioning performance tests. These in-depth procedures often allow us to locate issues before they turn into major issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your AC is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your unit is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this work, your system is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
