An air conditioner tune-up involves several vital cleaning tasks, inspections, and adjustments that can substantially boost performance and efficiency. Be sure to schedule this routine maintenance if your central air conditioning system exhibits any of these symptoms:

Odd Noises

When cooling equipment starts to produce unusual sounds, it probably requires professional service. A few examples of strange noises include banging, squealing, grinding, and clanking. Remember to mention such sounds when you set up an appointment.

Poor Output

If an A/C system only delivers a small amount of cold air or produces warm air, it may need a tune-up. This can happen as a result of filter problems, inadequate cleaning, duct leakage, or a refrigerant leak.

High Cost

Do your electric bills seem considerably higher than they were at the same time last year? Air conditioners consume more power when they don’t receive sufficient maintenance. A tune-up can pay for itself by cutting this cost while reducing the need for major repairs.

Moisture

The air in your home could become excessively moist when your cooling system needs service. This situation may result in abnormal odors, condensation, mold growth, or respiratory health problems. Your home will probably feel unpleasantly humid on hot, muggy days.

Long Time

Consider scheduling an appointment if your equipment hasn’t been serviced for 12 months or longer. Even when an air conditioner seems to work well, we recommend a yearly tune-up for optimal performance. You should never forgo this type of service for more than three years.
