Are AC Tune-Ups Worth It?

Planning annual AC maintenance is worthwhile.

Checkups keep your air conditioner system in Roanoke operating at its top performance while keeping utility needs low. It also can even help lengthen its life cycle.

While there are a few tasks you can finish on your own, you should call the Experts, like the ones at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, for AC examinations and service.

Here are several steps you can take alone as you get ready for cooling season.

Get Your AC Service Set

Spring is a period of rejuvenation, and to many that includes a hefty dose of house, garage and yard sprucing. With the hotter temps approaching, it’s also a great idea to put AC maintenance on that listing.

Spring is the best time to get your AC system freshened and examined. Delaying to turn it on until the first warm day of the year can be risky. If you have to schedule repair or a new unit, you might be waiting a long time for a technician. And that may get very unbearable.

And for those with allergies, being well prepared with a clean cooling system will help provide the best indoor air quality while it’s pollen season.

Additionally, cooling service can be mandatory for your unit’s manufacturer warranty or any additional extended warranty.

Can I Complete Maintenance on My Own?

There are procedures that you can do to help keep your cooling system in the best condition:

• Replace your air filter advises each month or two. This is particularly necessary if you suffer from allergies or have pets in your residence.
• Lawn maintenance around the outside condenser. Make sure there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes close to your AC equipment. We advise keeping 2–3 feet of free room. You should also clear any leaves or sticks that have fallen into your unit, since this might impede airflow.
