Why does my AC System need a tune up at the beginning of Spring?

Why Does My AC System need a tune up at the beginning of the Spring/Summer Season?
So we are finally heading into warmer weather soon and you keep seeing ads about getting a “Spring Tune-up” for your AC! Really?
Isn’t this just a ploy to get my money?
The answer is “No”, let me give you some examples why this is a good financial decision.
  Look at the upcoming warmer seasons just like a long trip. If you were getting ready to drive your car on a long trip across country, what are some of the things you would do to prepare for it? Check tire pressures and tread, check fluid levels, change the oil, maybe even change your wiper blades, and check the battery. These are the most common. Why? You want your vehicle to be in the best running order so that you don’t end up along side the road waiting for a tow truck. 
This works the same with your AC system. The long trip, is the warmer and sometimes scorching spring and summer weather. You want your system running at its best performance so you aren’t waiting in the heat for an HVAC tech to do repairs. Being proactive is always your best option to reduce unexpected system failures.

1. When you change the oil in your car or change the wiper blades you are increasing the efficiency of your vehicle. Having an experienced, licensed HVAC tech to perform a tune- up on your AC works in the same manner and it will run more efficiently.
2. Everyone wants to cut down on expenses. Electric bills in the summer can get astronomical! Get the refrigerant pressures checked, Delta T, and condenser coil cleaned to name a few,  with a tune- up and it will help with those summer electric bills.
3. Lastly and most importantly, tune-ups help protect your investment. Checking electrical components, and completing operational checks before the season kicks in high gear helps to increase the longevity of your system. 

Now that you are convinced of the benefits, let me offer 2 options that may also benefit you and your family du.ring the season:

• Does anyone in your household suffer with allergies? Your HVAC tech can perform an IAQ or Indoor Air Quality test and offer suggestions accordingly.
• Also for convenience you can set up monthly Air Filtration  filter replacements.​
