As spring begins, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Manassas? Even if your cooling equipment is recently installed or was running well last year.

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

The same affects your air conditioning. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving components. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can break down.

Having your equipment checked annually by a Fire & Ice HVAC specialist can help spot little issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your AC to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your AC is installed outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service complicated internal parts.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate in your system can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy needs—and a bigger cooling bill!
  3. It could prolong your system’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and might even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps identify little troubles before they turn into big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine parts and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the summer. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your unit is ready to provide worry-free comfort. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this maintenance, your system is open to premature breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
