Is your A/C unit ready to take on the warm summer months ahead? Don’t wait until you have unexpected system breakdowns that lead to emergency situations and costly repairs. Take the necessary steps to ensure that your A/C unit is properly maintained and taken care of. For the system to be in its best shape, you must have it tuned up regularly. A routine check will help keep you and your family safe and comfortable through the summer heat! 

A/C maintenance is more important than you might think. Not only does it help your air conditioner run more efficiently, but it will also avoid future problems and help you save money! With the cooling season right around the corner, it’s time to consider scheduling your A/C tune-up! There are several benefits of this important service that you could be missing out on. Check them out!

Better Performance
Air conditioner maintenance will increase the overall performance and efficiency of your unit. In many cases, the A/C in your home may start to act spotty, being very cool in one room but very warm in another. This could be caused by wear and tear of the system, or from dust buildup. This is a good sign that you need to have your system cleaned and tuned up. 

Increased Efficiency 
If you have noticed that your electricity bills have been getting higher and higher throughout the summer, this may be a result of skipping your A/C tune-up. Without routine maintenance, your system will lose efficiency over time as dust and other particles build up and air leaks form.

An A/C tune-up performed by an HVAC professional can help restore efficiency to your system, and keeping your A/C as efficient as possible is key when it comes to cooling your home. During the summer season, your unit is getting a ton of use. Many people are running it for a good majority of the day. This means that your A/C is working very hard and needs some TLC to help it run properly. A routine tune-up will bring your A/C system up to its peak operating efficiency, which in turn means less energy is being used to cool your home.

Money Savings
Many people think that having regular tune-ups performed on your A/C system is just throwing money down the drain. However, the opposite is true! Scheduling routine maintenance checks on your air conditioning unit will actually save you money. An A/C system that is properly maintained will end up costing you much less each month on energy bills. Did you know 50% of your energy bill is attributed to your cooling costs? That means if your A/C unit is forced to work twice as hard to cool your home as it should, your energy bills will increase substantially each month. 

Giving your air conditioner the proper care will keep it in excellent condition, and not only will this save you on monthly bills, but it will also help avoid pricey emergency repairs down the line.  

Documentation of Service for Warranties 
It is very common for air conditioning manufacturers to specify that annual system maintenance is required, otherwise, the warranty is voided. Having a warranty on your A/C system is very beneficial, especially in cases where your unit breaks down unexpectedly. Getting an A/C tune-up performed by an HVAC professional from Cellino Plumbing, Heating & Cooling will provide documentation of service and keep your warranty intact.

Consistent Cooling
Inconsistent or scattered cooling is one of the most common side effects of an improperly maintained A/C system. If you have noticed that one room may feel very cool, while the other feels warm, this is a sign that you need a tune-up. When your air conditioner is operating at peak efficiency, it will cool more evenly, which means more comfortable temperatures throughout your home.

No one wants to deal with a malfunctioning air conditioning unit, especially during the midst of summer. A little TLC on that A/C system will keep you and your family comfortable and cool in your home all summer long.

Decreased Repairs
Since your A/C system is working extra hard through the hot summer months, that is when it is most likely to break down. You may be wondering how you can prevent a breakdown from happening in the first place… and the answer is, by scheduling a tune-up! 

A properly maintained air conditioner is far less likely to malfunction. Did you know that up to 80% of repairs can be avoided by routine maintenance checks? One of the many reasons tune-ups are so effective is because if there is a problem with your system, a trained professional will be able to catch it and repair it on the spot. This will reduce the risk of an emergency breakdown in the future. 

Increased Lifespan Having routine maintenance performed can increase the lifespan of your air conditioner. With the right care, an A/C unit is designed to last anywhere between 15-20 years. Failure to provide regular maintenance can cause the system to break down sooner. 

A system with a ton of dust buildup has to work much harder, which results in greater wear-and-tear on the unit. Failure to replace faulty parts is another way that your air conditioner can get damaged. Although a tune-up will not make your A/C system last forever, it will give it a chance at a longer life.

Improved Indoor Air Quality
The buildup of dust, dirt, particles, and pollutants can eventually clog your unit’s filter. During a maintenance check, an HVAC professional will clean or change the filter so that these harmful particles are not set free into the air in your home. If this type of proper care is ignored, you will be breathing in pollutants and dust day after day, which can lead to many health issues. 

If you suffer from allergies, and A/C tune-up can help to decrease the number of pollutants in your home’s air. The overall indoor air quality of your home will be improved substantially from this service, which will in turn help you breathe better. 

How Often Should You Schedule a Tune-up
We recommended that you have routine A/C maintenance performed annually. The best time to schedule this service is in the Spring because that is usually right before you start consistently using it.
