As warmer weather starts, you might be wondering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Wilmington? Even if your cooling system is recently purchased or was running well last season.

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

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

Having your unit checked seasonally by a Brandywine Heating & Air tech can help spot small issues before they turn into large meltdowns. (And cause your equipment to stop operating!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is placed outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service complicated internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate inside your equipment can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these problems can create higher energy consumption—and a more expensive cooling bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and may even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, because you won’t have to buy new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps locate little issues before they lead to big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will closely examine components and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to find problems before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free operation throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to deliver worry-free cooling. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this service, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
