Air conditioning tune-ups might just seem like another chore that tends to fall to the bottom of your list, but regular maintenance is incredibly beneficial to your air conditioning system. By keeping up with regular tune-ups, you can make sure that you’re getting the most out of your cooling system. Here are some real, tangible benefits of getting an air conditioning tune-up:

Prevent Emergencies

With regular maintenance comes preventative action. An HVAC technician can spot any possible problems that may need future repairs, and fix any small issues to prevent them from becoming worse. This alone is worth the price of a tune-up visit because it could save you far more in emergency repair costs. 

Extend The System’s Lifespan

Although air conditioners are designed to last 15 to 20 years, it’s not a given that they will unless they are properly maintained. Your system’s warranty might be voided if you don’t get tune-ups. Without a warranty, parts, and services can become much more expensive. 

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Part of your maintenance service will include the cleaning of your AC unit. Air filters will be replaced which means there won’t be as much dust and debris to impact your air conditioner’s performance while improving your Franklin home’s air quality. 

Better Energy Efficiency

Your air conditioner will operate more efficiently, which won’t require as much energy. 

Improve Your Home’s Comfort

When your air conditioning unit doesn’t cool your home as quickly or as efficiently as possible, you’ll find it difficult to get comfortable and relax. Air conditioning systems should remove humidity from the air. If you find that your home is cooler, but still sticky with humidity, then your cooling system probably is due for a tune-up.
