It’s The Season For An AC Tune-Up

It’s The Season For An AC Tune-Up

If you’re going to stay comfortable in the Louisiana summer, you’ll need a powerful AC. As it gets warmer, you may be tempted to just switch on your AC and forget about it. However, you might find yourself with a broken AC later in the summer if you forget to schedule seasonal air conditioner maintenance.

Just like the preventative maintenance you schedule for your car, AC tune-ups catch potential problems before they become much bigger and more expensive. Southern Air is here to provide you with all of the information you need to maintain your air conditioning unit all year long.

What To Expect From An AC Tune-Up

An AC tune-up is a form of annual maintenance that helps your air conditioner last longer with fewer problems. Here are a few things you can expect to happen when you schedule a tune-up with Southern Air:

Change The Air Filter

One of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and increase the lifespan of your AC is to routinely change the air filter. When dirt builds up in the filter, your AC has to work even harder to distribute cold air throughout your home. During a tune-up, our technicians will check your air filter and replace it if needed.

Perform Small Repairs

AC tune-ups are great for catching small issues before they become larger, more costly repairs. At Southern Air, our technicians look for loose connections in the air conditioning system and make sure each part is in good shape. During a tune-up, smaller parts that are worn out are replaced, but if a larger problem is found, you may need to schedule further AC repairs.

Clean Out Dirt And Dust

An AC tune-up is a great time to clean out the entire system. An excess of dust and dirt in both the indoor and outdoor components of your air conditioner can lead to higher energy bills and a shorter AC lifespan.

Benefits Of Annual Maintenance

You might be wondering why you should pay for AC service when there’s nothing wrong with your air conditioner. Well, the investment is worth it when you consider all the benefits of scheduling an AC tune-up. Here’s what you can expect:

• Longer AC lifespan
• Increased energy efficiency/lower energy bills
• Prevention of larger, more expensive repairs

Replacing your AC can be very expensive, so taking care of your current system is important, even if it requires a little investment every year. Not only that, but you might be losing money because your AC system is overworking itself or wasting cool air.

When Should I Schedule An AC Tune-up?

At Southern Air, we recommend scheduling air conditioner maintenance between March and May. Since June through August are typically the warmest months in Louisiana, it’s important to make sure your AC will be able to handle constant use.
