As spring begins, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Norton? Especially if your AC equipment is recently installed or was running just fine last year.

Here’s one way 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 putting on new tires.

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

Having your system checked seasonally by a HCE Systems expert can help spot little issues before they lead to large breakdowns. (And cause your equipment to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your air conditioner is placed outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your unit’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 within your system can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these problems can lead to higher energy consumption—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and might 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, because you won’t have to install new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps pinpoint little troubles before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine components and complete a set of AC performance checks. These in-depth procedures often allow us to locate issues before they turn into large problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your equipment is ready to provide worry-free air. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this service, your unit is open to premature breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
