Are AC Tune-Ups Worth It?

Scheduling yearly AC maintenance is helpful.

Service keeps your AC equipment in Gainesville running at its best performance while keeping energy consumption small. It also might even help lengthen its life cycle.

While there are a few jobs you can finish alone, you should work with Experts, like the ones at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, for AC inspections and upkeep.

Here are several steps you can take by yourself as you prep for warm weather.

Get Your AC Maintenance Scheduled

Spring is a season of revival, and to many that entails a large dose of indoors, garage and yard sprucing. With the toastier weather approaching, it’s also a fantastic idea to put AC service on that listing.

Spring is a great time of year to get your air conditioning equipment cleaned and checked out. Hesitating to flip it on until the first hot day of the season can be dicey. If you have to schedule repair or installation, you could be waiting awhile for a tech. And that could turn extremely uncomfortable.

And for allergy sufferers, being ahead of the game with a freshened AC system will help ensure the best indoor air quality when it’s pollen season.

Additionally, AC upkeep could be required for your system’s manufacturer warranty or any additional extended warranty.

Can I Complete a Tune-Up Myself?

There are procedures that you can take to help keep your AC unit in the prime order:

  • Change your air filter suggests each month or two. This is especially crucial if you have been diagnosed with allergies or have a dog in your home.
  • Lawn work around the exterior condenser. Make sure the area is free of grass, weeds or bushes near your air conditioning unit. We recommend keeping 2–3 feet of open space. You should also remove any leaves or branches that have collected inside your unit, since this can impede airflow.
