How Often Does My AC Need a Tune-up?
Summertime in Urbana, IL includes plenty of heat and humidity. With all the work your air conditioner has to do, maintaining it ensures efficiency and effectiveness. Here’s what you need to know about how often your AC unit needs to be serviced and the best time to schedule its maintenance visit.
Schedule a Springtime Maintenance Visit
We recommend an annual service visit for your AC unit. Ideally, homeowners should schedule this visit in the springtime. This gives our technicians plenty of time to inspect, clean, lubricate and test the system. If we identify any performance issues, worn parts, or problems, there’s plenty of time to remedy the issue before the first summertime heat wave arrives.
Catch Up on Overdue Maintenance
If you didn’t get a chance to schedule a springtime AC service visit, don’t worry. It’s not too late to schedule it. You can still arrange a service visit during the summer season. Catching up on an overdue maintenance visit ensures that your AC system will continue to efficiently and effectively cool and dehumidify your home. Keeping up with preventive maintenance could also extend the lifespan of your air conditioner.
Other Times to Schedule an AC Tune-up
If you just completed a home remodeling or renovation project, consider an extra AC service visit. Dust and debris may have accumulated in the ductwork of your home, and the AC filter may require replacement. Another ideal time to schedule AC service is before selling your home.
