As spring begins, you may be thinking, is an AC tune-up worth it in Rapid City? Particularly if your AC unit is up-to-date or was running good last year.

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

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving pieces. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can malfunction.

Having your system checked yearly by a Precision Mechanical expert can help spot little issues before they lead to large meltdowns. (And cause your unit to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your cooling system is installed outdoors, it’s more inclined to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard clippings, which can negatively affect your unit’s efficiency. While you can use our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a pro to service intricate internal components.
  2. It keeps your equipment efficient. Dirt and yard clippings that accumulate within your equipment can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these issues can create higher energy use—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could extend your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and might even help it run for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly energy costs and over the years, as you won’t have to buy new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps determine little problems before they become big, costly problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine components and complete a set of cooling performance checks. These in-depth procedures often allow us to find troubles before they turn into large troubles that result in an expensive repair bill.
  5. It helps ensure worry-free comfort throughout the season. After your unit is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind being aware your system is ready to provide worry-free air. Even on the hottest days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty valid. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this tune-up, your unit is open to premature breakdowns and decreased efficiency.
