As warmer weather rolls around, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Houston? Particularly if your AC system is up-to-date or was running well last year.

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

The same affects your air conditioning. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can malfunction.

Having your unit checked yearly by a Air Current AC & Heat technician can help spot small issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your AC to stop working!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can negatively affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service delicate internal components.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate in your system can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these troubles can lead to higher energy use—and a bigger cooling bill!
  3. It could extend your system’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and may even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly energy costs and over the years, as you won’t have to get new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps identify little troubles before they turn into big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine pieces and complete a set of air conditioning performance checks. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify problems before they turn into major troubles that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your equipment is ready to deliver worry-free air. 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 in place. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this service, your system is open to early breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
