Some homeowners are skeptical about how necessary annual air conditioning tune-ups really are. Many homeowners may get their air conditioner tuned-up every few years and believe that is enough. However, that isn’t the case. Even though your air conditioner will run without annual maintenance, you are reducing the life of your air conditioner, paying more money to cool your home and risking the possibility of mid-season failure. New York Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing would like to go into more detail as to why it is important to have your air conditioner tuned-up once a year.
Get Your Air Conditioner Ready For Summer
It is highly recommended to have your air conditioner tuned-up during the spring. By tuning-up your air conditioner in the spring, it is ready for the summer season which is when your air conditioner will work the hardest. During a routine air conditioning tune-up the entire cooling system is inspected, cleaned, and all moving components are lubricated. During the inspection the cooling system is checked for worn down or broken components that will need to be repaired or replaced. Electrical and mechanical systems will be inspected ensuring a reliable cooling system for the upcoming summer. A tune-up will help reduce any chance of your air conditioner breaking down in the middle of the hot summer.
Annual AC Tune-Ups Save You Money
There are a few ways an annual tune-up can help save you money. When the air conditioning system is thoroughly cleaned and lubricated, it enhances your air conditioner’s performance which means more efficient cooling. The more efficient your air conditioning system is, the less money it will take to keep your home comfortable. Another way annual tune-ups help save you money is by preventing wear and tear on the air conditioner’s components. It is common for certain components to wear down and need to be replaced. Components such as the compressor, fan and blower motor often wear down and need to be replaced. These components are very expensive to replace. It only makes sense to maintain these harder working components and extend their lives. Not only will annual tune-ups extend the life of the cooling system’s major components, but also extends the life of the air conditioner as well. You will be surprised how much money annual tune-ups can help you save.
Air Conditioner Maintenance Help Preserve Your Warranty
The Energy Star, US Department of Energy, and the EPA all recommend that an air conditioner system receive annual maintenance for better energy efficiency, performance, and health of your cooling system. However, even though each warranty will read a bit differently, most will require regular maintenance of the air conditioning system. Failure to schedule annual tune-ups can void your air conditioner’s warranty. You must play your role in maintaining your cooling system. If you fail to do so and if the unit breaks down, the warranty may no longer be valid.
