Should I Get An Air Conditioning Tune-Up Every Year?

In short, the answer to this question is yes. Your air conditioner sits unused over the winter. This can lead to dust buildup and a loss of charge, among other problems, which causes inefficient cooling and potential future repairs.

And it’s not just us. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Energy, ENERGY STAR, and local utilities all recommend this yearly tune-up because it offers many benefits, several of which are listed below.

Reduce Energy Costs
Even while hibernating over the winter, your air conditioning coils are collecting dirt, dust and other debris. This buildup of debris contributes to your cooling system running less efficiently. Also, your air conditioner may have lost some of its charge over the winter. A tune-up will clean your coils and charge your air conditioner.

Avoid Costly Repairs
Not only do the problems listed above cause your air conditioner to run less efficiently, but they can also lead to future repairs. Just as an oil change and engine tune-up keeps your vehicle running, an air conditioning tune-up gives you peace of mind knowing everything is operating correctly. If there is a small problem, catching it now is much more affordable than finding out later when it has already caused damage to other critical components.

Increase System Lifespan
Any mechanic will tell you, driving your vehicle without ever having maintenance performed will shorten your engine’s lifespan. In the same way, using your air conditioner year in and year out without maintaining it will lead to problems and cause it to die prematurely.

Maintain Manufacturer’s Warranty
Did you know that most manufacturer’s warranties require that regular maintenance is performed on your system by a licensed professional? If you fail to follow this stipulation and your air conditioner needs to be repaired, you could be left footing the bill. An air conditioning tune-up can help maintain that manufacturer’s warranty and save you money.
