Regular AC maintenance is essential for effective and efficient performance. Summer highs can easily reach above 80 degrees Fahrenheit in Sioux Falls, and the temperature rarely drops below 64 degrees Fahrenheit at that time of year. You don’t want to be stuck with a malfunctioning cooling system on those hottest days. This is why it’s crucial to schedule your AC tune-up in the spring. You want it well behind you before those first hot days arrive. By doing so, you’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits that come with routine AC maintenance.
Energy Efficiency
Cleaning the components of your AC, such as the coils and filters, allows for better airflow. This results in your cooling system using less energy.
Do your electric bills seem higher than usual lately? While it’s natural for your energy bills to increase slightly due to rising rates and using your AC more often during the summer months, they should still be somewhat in line with the previous years. If not, the problem could be due to skipping annual maintenance.
You’ll be running your AC almost constantly during the summer. If it’s using even 5% more energy than normal, you’ll see a big difference in those charges.
Fewer Repairs
As a preventative measure, during an AC tune-up, we’ll check for potential problems with the electric connections, refrigerant, and major components. If we can catch concerns early, it’ll save you the inconvenience of the AC breaking down just when you need it the most.
Longer Life Expectancy
You want to get as many years as possible out of your AC. By addressing wear and tear during a routine maintenance visit, we can help you achieve this. The average AC lasts between 12 and 20 years. Many factors affect the lifespan, but what affects it the most is maintenance. We can’t make your cooling system last forever, but we can ensure that it’s there for you for a long time to come.
Better Indoor Air Quality
When we clean your AC’s components, especially the filters, we’re eliminating pollen, dust, and other allergens that could end up circulating throughout your home. Once these allergens build up within your cooling system, it can feel like allergy season lasts all summer. When you combine our AC maintenance with our indoor air quality solutions and ductwork cleaning, you’re helping ensure a healthy environment within your home.
A Performance Boost
Your AC simply won’t run as well without an annual tune-up. You’ll begin to notice unusual situations. For example, one room may be icy cold while another feels uncomfortably warm. Over time, dust and debris accumulate within your cooling system. If it’s not taken care of, your AC may not be able to run at peak performance. Combine this with neglecting small issues, and your AC won’t be able to keep up with your demands.
Maintain the Warranty
Many ACs come with a manufacturer’s warranty. These warranties cover many costly repairs when it comes to problems with parts like the compressor. The coverage typically lasts for several years. What many homeowners don’t realize is that many manufacturers void the warranty if you don’t schedule an annual tune-up. The manufacturer wants to make sure the AC is being properly taken care of.
What to Expect
All you have to do is schedule an AC tune-up. We take care of the rest. We’ll clean your compressor coil and check things like the refrigerant level and air vents. Furthermore, we inspect all electrical connections, lubricate all moving parts, and check the condensate drain lines. Finally, we test your system to ensure it is operating properly. If we find any issues during our visit, we’ll discuss the problem with you and recommend the best course of action for promptly repairing it.
