As spring rolls around, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in New Castle? Especially if your air conditioning equipment is recently purchased or was running just fine last summer.

Here’s one method to look at it. You wouldn’t get a brand-new car and never expect to request any service for it, such as putting in fresh oil or buying 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 pieces can fail.

Having your system checked yearly by a Central Heating & Plumbing technician can help spot small issues before they lead to large malfunctions. (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 air conditioner is installed outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service delicate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate within your system can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these problems can create higher energy needs—and a more expensive cooling bill!
  3. It could prolong your equipment’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and could 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 replace your equipment as fast.
  4. It helps pinpoint little problems before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine components and complete a cycle of cooling performance checks. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into large issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free cooling throughout the summer. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your unit is ready to deliver 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 valid. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this tune-up, your equipment is open to premature breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
