As warmer weather starts, you might be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Fort Lauderdale? Especially if your air conditioning equipment is recently purchased or was running just fine last season.

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

The same applies for your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can wear out.

Having your unit checked seasonally by a Solar Air Inc. technician can help spot minor issues before they turn into large meltdowns. (And cause your unit to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your air conditioner is installed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can majorly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate within your unit can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy needs—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could extend your system’s life span. A clean unit 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 energy costs and over the years, because you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps find little problems before they lead to big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will closely examine pieces and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance verifications. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free cooling throughout the season. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to give worry-free air. 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 call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this tune-up, your equipment is open to premature breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
