As springtime rolls around, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Highlands Ranch? Even if your cooling equipment is recently purchased or was running just fine last summer.

Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t get a brand-new car and never expect 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 uses fuel and has moving pieces. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving parts can fail.

Having your equipment checked seasonally by a PS Cool Heat professional can help spot small issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (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 AC is located outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can greatly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service delicate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate within your system can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these issues can lead to higher energy consumption—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean AC 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 install new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps find little troubles before they lead to big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will closely examine parts and complete a cycle of AC performance tests. These in-depth procedures often allow us to find problems before they turn into big problems that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your unit is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to deliver 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 going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this tune-up, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
