As warmer weather rolls around, you may be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Chelan and Wenatchee? Especially if your air conditioning unit is up-to-date or was running good last year.

Here’s one method to look at it. You wouldn’t buy a brand-new automobile and never have to request any maintenance for it, such as putting in fresh oil or getting new tires.

The same affects your AC. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can break down.

Having your system checked yearly by a Lakeside Heating & Air expert can help spot little issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your unit to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is placed outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can majorly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your equipment can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these problems can lead to higher energy consumption—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and might even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to buy new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps pinpoint little problems before they become big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will keenly examine pieces and complete a series of AC performance checks. These in-depth procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into big problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free comfort throughout the summer. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your equipment is ready to deliver worry-free cooling. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
