As springtime rolls around, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Libertyville? Even if your cooling system is recently installed or was running just fine last season.

Here’s one approach to look at it. You wouldn’t get a brand-new vehicle and never have to request any work for it, such as putting in fresh oil or purchasing new tires.

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving parts. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can fail.

Having your system checked yearly by a TopTec expert can help spot minor issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your AC to stop working!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your air conditioner is installed outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can majorly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service delicate internal components.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate in your unit can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy needs—and a higher energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your system’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and could even help it last 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 get new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps locate little problems before they turn into big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine components and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance checks. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to find issues before they turn into big issues that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free cooling throughout the summer. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to give worry-free comfort. Even on the muggiest 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.
