As warmer weather starts, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Northridge? Particularly if your air conditioning equipment is recently purchased or was running just fine last summer.

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

The same affects your air conditioner. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving pieces. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving parts can wear out.

Having your system checked yearly by a Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating tech can help spot minor issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your system to stop working!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can greatly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate inside your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy use—and a bigger cooling bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and could even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, as you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps find little issues before they turn into big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine parts and complete a series of cooling performance verifications. These detailed procedures often allow us to find problems before they turn into major issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your system is ready to provide worry-free comfort. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this service, your unit is open to early breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
