As spring begins, you might be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Houston? Even if your AC system is recently purchased or was running just fine last year.

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

The same affects your AC. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving components. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving components can fail.

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

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your AC is installed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate in your system can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy consumption—and a bigger cooling bill!
  3. It could prolong your equipment’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and may 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, because you won’t have to install new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps locate little troubles before they become big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will keenly examine pieces and complete a series of cooling performance checks. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify troubles before they turn into large troubles that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your unit is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this work, your unit is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
