Are AC Tune-Ups Worth It?
Planning routine AC maintenance is worthwhile.
Maintenance keeps your air conditioner equipment in West Chester operating at its best performance while keeping utility usage down. It also may even help prolong its life expectancy.
While there are a couple jobs you can complete by yourself, you should work with Experts, like the ones at Wesley Wood Service Experts, for AC inspections and service.
Here are several steps you can complete by yourself as you prepare for cooling season.
Get Your AC Maintenance Scheduled
Spring is a season of rejuvenation, and to many that includes a large portion of home, garage and yard sprucing. With the toastier weather right around the corner, it’s also a fantastic idea to include AC maintenance on that listing.
Spring is a great time of year to get your air conditioning system freshened and inspected. Waiting to switch it on until the first warm day of the year can be dicey. If you have to have service or a new unit, you may be waiting days for a tech. And that might turn awfully uncomfortable.
And for people with allergies, being one step ahead with a fresh AC system will help provide the greatest indoor air quality during pollen season.
Additionally, air conditioning service could be required for your unit’s manufacturer warranty or any extra extended warranty.
Can I Finish a Tune-Up on My Own?
There are procedures that you can take to help keep your air conditioner equipment in the ultimate order:
- Put in a new air filter advises each month or two. This is especially necessary if you have been diagnosed with allergies or have a cat in your home.
- Lawn work around the exterior condenser. Make sure there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes near your AC system. We suggest keeping 2–3 feet of free room. You should also remove any leaves or sticks that have dropped into your equipment, since this could impede airflow.
