As warmer weather starts, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Tucson and Phoenix? Particularly if your air conditioning system is recently installed or was running well last season.

Here’s one way to look at it. You wouldn’t buy 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 conditioner. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can break down.

Having your unit checked yearly by a Desert Husky HVAC/R Services professional can help spot little issues before they turn into large meltdowns. (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 cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate in your unit can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these troubles can lead to higher energy consumption—and a more expensive utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and may even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly energy 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, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will keenly examine pieces and complete a series of air conditioning performance checks. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your unit is ready to give worry-free comfort. Even on the muggiest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this maintenance, your unit is open to premature breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
