Spring in New England is always temperamental! We get little glimpses of summer and then get thrown right back into winter. When it’s cold and gloomy it’s hard to think about the hot summer months that are really right around the corner. I frequently get asked if it’s necessary to have your AC tuned every year. And there are many reasons why my answer is always, yes!
During the long winter months your AC lies dormant.
When you start up your air conditioner on that first warm day you may notice a musty or burning smell. That is dust and debris that has collected on the coils over the winter. Build-ups like this can make your system less efficient. When we check your cooling system, we complete a 23-point inspection. Our NATE-certified technicians evaluate your system as a whole and clean or replace filters as needed. All of our techs are trained and experienced to look for other problems that may have surfaced over the colder months, such as refrigerant leaks or electrical issues.
The U.S. Department of Energy recommends annual maintenance to help improve your comfort and the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Tune-ups save you money in the long run:
An annual air conditioner tune-up will result in significant savings for a small up-front investment. These ways include:
-Reduce breakdowns-
identifying and fixing small problems before they turn into big issues helps you avoid large repairs or earlier-than-necessary system replacement.
–Increase lifespan-
Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your system and also give you an idea of your equipment’s life expectancy.
–Increase efficiency–
The U.S. Department of Energy recommends annual maintenance to help improve your comfort and the efficiency of your air conditioner. Changing filters, inspecting all parts to make certain that they are in good working order and ensuring there are no leaks are all part of our job to make sure your home energy system is working most efficiently.
In closing–
when the hot summer months arrive, many cooling systems are not prepared. An annual A/C tune-up is much less expensive and more convenient than a mid-summer repair or replacement.
