As warmer weather begins, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Spokane? Even if your cooling equipment is recently installed or was running just fine last summer.

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

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that uses fuel and has moving pieces. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving components can break down.

Having your equipment checked yearly by a Bigfoot Mechanical expert can help spot little issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your AC to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your unit clean. Since your air conditioner is located outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can negatively affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service delicate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate in your equipment can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can cause higher energy consumption—and a bigger energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your system’s life span. A clean air conditioner is an efficient one and may even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, since you won’t have to replace your equipment as fast.
  4. It helps determine little troubles before they lead to big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will closely examine pieces and complete a series of air conditioning performance verifications. These detailed procedures often allow us to identify troubles before they turn into major problems that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free comfort throughout the summer. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your unit is ready to provide worry-free air. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this work, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
