As spring begins, you could be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Morgantown? Even if your cooling equipment is recently installed or was running just fine last year.

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

The same applies for your air conditioning. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving parts can break down.

Having your unit checked annually by a Mountain Air tech can help spot little issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your system to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your cooling system is placed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can majorly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service delicate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate within your unit can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these troubles can cause higher energy use—and a higher energy bill!
  3. It could extend your system’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and may even help it work 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 replace your equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps determine little troubles before they turn into big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine pieces and complete a set of AC performance checks. These in-depth procedures often allow us to identify problems before they turn into major issues that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the season. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your unit is ready to give worry-free air. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the smartest 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 valid. Without this tune-up, your equipment is open to premature breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
