As spring begins, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Northridge? Especially if your cooling equipment is recently purchased or was running just fine last season.

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

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

Having your unit checked yearly by a Enertek Air Conditioning & Heating tech can help spot minor issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your equipment to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service delicate internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate in your equipment can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these problems can lead to higher energy consumption—and a bigger cooling bill!
  3. It could lengthen your system’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and could even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, as you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps pinpoint little problems before they lead to big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine pieces and complete a series of cooling performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to find problems before they turn into big issues that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the warmest days. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your equipment is ready to provide worry-free comfort. Even on the hottest 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 in place. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to premature breakdowns and limited efficiency.
