As springtime rolls around, you might be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Hodgenville? Even 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 vehicle and never expect to request any work for it, such as putting in fresh oil or buying 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 pieces can wear out.

Having your system checked seasonally by a Phelps Heating & Cooling, Inc. tech can help spot little issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your unit to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your air conditioner is located outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate within your system can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these troubles can lead to higher energy consumption—and a bigger cooling bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and may even help it run 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 buy new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps identify little troubles before they become big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine parts and complete a set of AC performance verifications. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a costly 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 give worry-free air. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this maintenance, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
