As warmer weather rolls around, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Ballwin and St. Charles? Even if your air conditioning system is recently installed or was running just fine last season.

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

The same applies for your air conditioner. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving parts. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can malfunction.

Having your system checked annually by a Air Alliance Team tech can help spot little issues before they turn into large breakdowns. (And cause your system to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more prone to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can try our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your AC efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate within your system can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy needs—and a more expensive cooling bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and may even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll keep on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, since you won’t have to buy new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps locate little troubles before they turn into big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will keenly examine components and complete a set of air conditioning performance tests. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify troubles before they turn into big issues that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the season. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your system is ready to provide worry-free air. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this work, your system is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
