When Should I Schedule an A/C Tune-Up?

When is the best time to have your air conditioning system tuned up? Spoiler alert: it’s right now! Spring is the best time of year because your system just spent the last several months in hibernation and you’re going to be relying on it to keep your home comfortable all summer long.

Why Do I Need My A/C System Tuned Up?

Lots of Chicago homeowners put off scheduling an air conditioning tune-up or forget about it altogether. Then, they’re surprised when the system malfunctions in the dead of summer. A tune-up in the spring sets up for a successful cooling season by cleaning away the cobwebs of winter, lubricating the moving parts and repairing anything that could break down in the near future.

Why Turn To The Pros?

• Lower energy bills: Tired of spending a fortune on energy bills? High electricity costs in the summer are due in large part to inefficient air conditioning. With an equipment cleaning and tune-up, you can expect your AC to reach its full potential, keeping you comfortable while lowering your energy bills at the same time.
• Fewer repairs: A tuned-up air conditioner is far less likely to break down than a neglected one. Help your cooling equipment make it all summer without a hitch by scheduling maintenance in the spring.
• Longer equipment lifespan: Making annual preventative maintenance a priority could help your AC last years longer, allowing you to put off an expensive replacement for a few more summers.
• Warranty coverage: Many manufacturers only uphold parts warranties for equipment that receives preventative tune-ups every year. Skipping maintenance could void your warranty, leaving you to foot the bill if a part fails prematurely. Be sure to keep records of our maintenance visits so you receive the warranty coverage you deserve.

It’s much easier to schedule a convenient tune-up than it is to deal with an untimely breakdown. Make A/C maintenance a priority this spring and enjoy both immediate and long-term benefits. Call on the experts at ABC today!
