Air Conditioning Tune-Up
On average, a central air conditioning system can run about 3,300 hours per year. That adds up to a lot of wear and tear—the equivalent of driving a car 214,000 miles.
Most people wouldn’t think of driving a car that far without an inspection or maintenance, yet many go for years at a time without tuning up their central air conditioners. Fortunately, local air conditioning companies offer affordable and convenient tune-up and maintenance services. Homeowners who do not have routine maintenance performed on their systems aren’t saving money; they’re losing thousands of dollars on AC repairs.
AC tune-ups help equipment run at or near original factory specifications, depending on age and overall condition. When cooling equipment runs efficiently, it doesn’t have to work as hard to do its job, which will save you money and increase the equipment’s lifespan.
HVAC System Maintenance can provide even bigger savings for homeowners. Often, our technicians find small problems that can be fixed quickly and inexpensively during an HVAC System Maintenance Visit. If neglected, these same issues can worsen over time, causing quite a dent in your wallet and eventually resulting in costly repair services.
For example, if a refrigerant leak is noticed early, it can easily be repaired at an affordable cost. However, if the leak goes undetected, it can drain the refrigerant and burn up the compressor. At first, a failing compressor will run inefficiently, raising your electric bills by hundreds of dollars. Once your compressor stops working altogether, it can cost $1,000 or more to replace.
