As springtime rolls around, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Columbia? Especially if your AC system is up-to-date or was running good last summer.

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

The same affects your air conditioning. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving parts. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can wear out.

Having your unit checked annually by a Watts Electric & AC specialist can help spot small issues before they turn into large breakdowns. (And cause your equipment 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 inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can majorly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service delicate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy needs—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and might even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly energy costs and over the years, as you won’t have to buy new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps locate little issues before they become big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will keenly examine pieces and complete a series of AC performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into extensive issues that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free cooling throughout the warmest days. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your unit is ready to give worry-free comfort. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this service, your unit is open to premature breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
