As warmer weather begins, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Marshalltown? Especially if your air conditioning system is up-to-date or was running just fine last season.

Here’s one way 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 applies for your air conditioner. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving components. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving parts can fail.

Having your unit checked seasonally by a B & G HVAC professional can help spot small issues before they lead to large breakdowns. (And cause your system to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your cooling system is placed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can greatly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service intricate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate inside your system can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these troubles can create higher energy consumption—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could extend your system’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 energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to install new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps find little problems before they turn into big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine parts and complete a series of air conditioning performance checks. These detailed procedures often allow us to locate troubles before they turn into large issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your AC is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system 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 work, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
