How Can a Tune-Up Help Your Air Conditioner During the Summer Months?

June 18, 2015

Don’t lead into your summer without a planned air conditioner tune-up from a Age Heating & Cooling technician. We often don’t remember HVAC maintenance or never give it a sense of importance, but annual air conditioner maintenance can help your system run well, keeping you cozy and cool all season long. These regular checks do more than just keep you cozy, too – they are also vital for your comfort and wallet.

What do tune-ups do for my home?

  • Ensure energy efficiency – Services keep your air conditioner operating as usefully as possible, therefore keeping your home more comfortable. Air conditioners are investments that need to continuously be upkept, just like any other investment, to check that you are getting maximum benefits from it.
  • Minimize need for repairs – These hot days in Sandpoint are the worst time for an air conditioner to fail. With regular system maintenance, you won’t have to worry about malfunctions or upkeep in the middle of the hottest day of the year. Our technicians can look for warnings and indicate trouble for your air conditioner and caution you long before any troubles occur.
  • Lower expenses – When your air conditioner is operating at its best, you could detect a decrease in your energy bills throughout the year.

What will take place during an air conditioner tune-up?

  • Refrigerant charge check – Refrigerant levels need to be leveled for your air conditioner to be working properly. Too little refrigerant can cause extra wear on your system, and too much refrigerant will influence how your air cools. Professionals will always look at these levels during an air conditioner tune-up and adjust things fittingly.
  • Filter status check – Air conditioner filters should be swapped out according to the manufacturer’s advice, so the cleanliness of your filters will always be checked during a tune-up. Dirty filters make your air conditioner to work harder than it has to and can also cause the air in your home to look and feel unclean.
  • Coil check – Our pros will search so that no dust or other particles have accumulated on the outdoor or inside coils of your system. This dust can cause air conditioners to use more energy than required and is crucial to be cleaned.
  • System Operating Check – Our experts will ensure that all operating parts of the air conditioner are working cohesively together.
