Are A/C Tune-ups Really Worth It?

DENTON, Texas, March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --  If you speak with any reputable Heating and Air Conditioning company they will tell you that they are often asked by friends and family, "Are A/C tune-ups really worth it?"  The short answer is YES!  In today's economy maintaining what we have is a necessity.  A new air conditioning system is not inexpensive and the longer we can keep ours running efficiently the more value we get from it.  Many HVAC professionals will equate getting your air conditioning system tuned-up to regular maintenance on your vehicle, like oil changes, replacing spark plugs, rotating tires and checking air pressure, air filter inspection, and so on.  Checking and maintaining these items in your car will help ensure its reliability and improve your gas mileage.  Tuning your air conditioning system will also improve your system's efficiency and ensure reliable operation, while keeping your energy bills to a minimum. "You should have your system looked once a year by a professional and the spring is the perfect time to do it," stated Joe Strittmatter of Strittmatter Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing in Denton, TX.  "It is fresh on our minds and here in Texas we know that our summer electric bill can get out of hand if our A/C system is not running at its peak efficiency."

A short list of items a trained air conditioning system professional will look at includes, your coolant level, checking for hidden coolant leaks, exposed or fraying wires, clogged or bent fins on the outside unit, inspect and clean the condenser, inspect and clean the evaporator coil, inspect and clean clogged drip trays, calibrate your thermostat, check your compressor amps at startup, and check your filters.  This is not an exhaustive list but gives you a good idea of what is going to be inspected and cleaned to maintain your air conditioning system's efficiency and performance. 

Yes an A/C tune-up is worth it and can save you thousands in unwanted repair bills as well as extend the life of your current system increasing its value while keeping our electricity bill to a minimum.
