As warmer weather begins, you might be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in McAllen? Especially if your AC unit is recently purchased or was running just fine last summer.

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

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

Having your unit checked annually by a Cytech Heating & Cooling L.C. specialist can help spot minor issues before they turn into large malfunctions. (And cause your system to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is installed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can negatively affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service delicate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your system can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these troubles can lead to higher energy consumption—and a more expensive cooling bill!
  3. It could extend your equipment’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and might even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to install new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps locate little problems before they become big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will keenly examine pieces and complete a series of AC performance verifications. These detailed procedures often allow us to locate issues before they turn into big troubles that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free operation throughout the season. After your air conditioner is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your equipment is ready to give worry-free comfort. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this tune-up, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
