As springtime begins, you may be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Mission Viejo? Particularly if your AC unit is recently purchased or was running just fine last summer.

Here’s one approach to look at it. You wouldn’t get a brand-new automobile and never have to request any maintenance for it, such as putting in fresh oil or purchasing new tires.

The same affects your air conditioner. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving parts. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving parts can malfunction.

Having your equipment checked seasonally by a 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning professional can help spot small issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your unit to stop working!)

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 refuse, which can majorly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these troubles can create higher energy needs—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and might even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps locate little problems before they lead to big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will keenly examine pieces and complete a set of air conditioning performance verifications. These in-depth procedures often allow us to locate issues before they turn into big problems that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your unit is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to provide worry-free comfort. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this tune-up, your equipment is open to advanced breakdowns and limited efficiency.
