As springtime rolls around, you could be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Auburn and Opelika? Especially if your AC equipment is newer or was running well last summer.

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

The same affects your air conditioning. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving pieces. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can fail.

Having your equipment checked seasonally by a Farnell Mechanical, Inc. tech can help spot small issues before they become large meltdowns. (And cause your system to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your air conditioner is placed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can majorly affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate inside your system can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these troubles can create higher energy use—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and may even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, since you won’t have to install new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps pinpoint little issues before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will carefully examine components and complete a series of AC performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to locate problems before they turn into big troubles that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free operation throughout the warmest days. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your system is ready to give worry-free comfort. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this work, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
