As warmer weather begins, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Michigan City? Especially if your cooling system is up-to-date or was running well last summer.

Here’s one method to look at it. You wouldn’t buy a brand-new vehicle and never expect to request any service for it, such as putting in fresh oil or putting on new tires.

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

Having your unit checked seasonally by a Paniccia Heating & Cooling tech can help spot minor 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 equipment clean. Since your cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these troubles can create higher energy needs—and a bigger energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your system’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and could even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, because you won’t have to get new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps spot little troubles before they turn into big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will carefully examine parts and complete a series of air conditioning performance tests. 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 cooling throughout the season. After your AC is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your unit is ready to provide worry-free air. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this maintenance, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
