As warmer weather begins, you could be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Marshalltown? Particularly if your AC equipment is up-to-date or was running just fine last season.

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

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving pieces. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving components can wear out.

Having your unit checked seasonally by a Kapaun & Brown professional can help spot minor issues before they become large breakdowns. (And cause your air conditioning to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your air conditioner is placed outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate in your equipment can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can create higher energy needs—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could prolong 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 cooling costs and over the years, because you won’t have to get new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps pinpoint little issues before they become big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will carefully examine components and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into large issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free operation throughout the season. After your unit is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your equipment is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to advanced breakdowns and limited efficiency.
