As the weather gets warmer, you may be planning to switch your HVAC system from heating over to cooling. After months of dormancy, the cooling components may not be in the same condition as last fall. Whether you're concerned about the ducts to the condenser early spring is an excellent time to schedule a tune-up. Here are a few reasons why you should schedule this essential service now.

Why Should You Schedule an HVAC System Tuneup?

1. Lower Energy Bills

Seasonal usage patterns can strain an HVAC system and cause its components to function less efficiently. This means the equipment will consume more energy to reach your desired temperature, leading to higher energy bills. Having the system’s components adjusted periodically reduces likelihood of excessive energy use, which will keep your utility bills under control throughout the spring and summer.

2. Less Frequent Repairs

During a tuneup, the HVAC technician will ensure the system's components are working properly and look for potential issues, including misaligned or worn-out parts. They’ll also clear away any accumulated dirt and make sure the mechanical and electrical connections are secure. These steps make it easier for the technician to alert you of potential problems before they arise and resolve minor issues before they become emergencies.

3. Better System Life Span

HVAC systems can last for about 10 years before they begin to break down. However, equipment that hasn’t been maintained will degrade faster, resulting in more extensive repairs and, eventually, a premature replacement. A spring tune up is designed to minimize the risk of major inefficiencies and damage so the unit lasts as long as possible.
