As spring begins, you may be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in New Castle? Especially if your air conditioning unit is newer or was running good last year.

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

The same applies for your air conditioning. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving pieces. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving components can wear out.

Having your equipment checked seasonally by a Central Heating & Plumbing pro can help spot small issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your AC to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your cooling system is located outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate in your unit can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these troubles can cause higher energy consumption—and a higher cooling bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and may even help it work 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 install new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps find little problems before they lead to big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will keenly examine parts and complete a cycle of cooling performance verifications. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify problems before they turn into extensive issues that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free cooling throughout the warmest days. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your equipment is ready to provide worry-free cooling. 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 in place. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to premature breakdowns and limited efficiency.
