As warmer weather rolls around, you might be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Rapid City? Especially if your cooling equipment is recently purchased or was running just fine last summer.

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

The same affects your AC. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving parts. Like a automobile, it can get leaks and its moving components can wear out.

Having your system checked yearly by a Precision Mechanical technician can help spot little issues before they turn into large meltdowns. (And cause your equipment to stop working!)

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 greatly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard debris that accumulate in your unit can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these problems can cause higher energy use—and a bigger utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and could even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly cooling costs and over the years, since you won’t have to buy new equipment as quickly.
  4. It helps pinpoint little problems before they become big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your tech will closely examine parts and complete a cycle of cooling performance checks. These detailed procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into extensive issues that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free operation throughout the season. After your system is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to provide worry-free air. Even on the warmest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this service, your system is open to early breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
