As warmer weather begins, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in York? Especially if your cooling equipment is up-to-date 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 getting new tires.

The same is applicable to your air conditioner. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving pieces. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving components can break down.

Having your unit checked annually by a Strine's specialist can help spot little issues before they become large malfunctions. (And cause your unit to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your air conditioner is located outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, 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 complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate in your equipment can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy needs—and a higher energy bill!
  3. It could prolong your equipment’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and could even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, because you won’t have to install new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps spot little problems before they lead to big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will keenly examine components and complete a cycle of AC performance checks. These detailed procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into extensive problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free operation throughout the season. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this service, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
