Do I need an Air Conditioner tune-up?

Your AC unit is one of the most expensive appliances you own, making sure it is operating correctly seems like a no-brainer. It pays to prevent AC problems, with repair costing far more than maintenance.

So, what are the benefits of an AC inspection?

AC Tune-Up on Carrier Air Conditioner

1. Lower Utility Bills - Neglecting to get an AC inspection may result in a system that uses more energy than necessary. This will reflect on your monthly power bills. With an AC inspection, our technicians check for installation inefficiencies and provide you with solutions. Checking and fixing minor problems will improve air flow and reduce expenses on energy.

2. Make your equipment last longer - The average lifespan of an AC unit is 15 to 20 years under ideal conditions. However, if you neglect inspections and maintenance, the lifespan shortens. With the harsh Michigan weather your HVAC equipment is subjected to(rain, snow, hail, etc.) it needs regular cleaning and adjustments to keep it working well.

3. Minimize repair expenses - Remember, maintenance costs less than repair. For example, you could replace a bad wire or replace your compressor when it gets fried by an electrical short caused by a bad wire. When you have a technician come out for an AC inspection, these are all things that can be caught before they turn into a costly repair!

You don’t want to be stuck sweating it out on the hottest day of the year because your AC gave up. A quick tune-up in the spring can keep things running smoothly all summer long—and help catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
