Reasons Why You Should Get Your AC System Tuned Up

Air conditioners get LOTS of use every year in South Florida, and when it gets hot, we really need them to be at their peak efficiency! That's why it's important to ensure your air conditioner is well maintained.

Because it's such an intricate system with many moving parts, there’s always something that could go wrong. If your air conditioner has not been regularly serviced, you may find that it fails to cool your home or is unable to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Even if your AC system seems to be working properly, it may not be running as efficiently as possible, costing you money.

When you hire us, you can expect thorough work that includes:

• Efficiency and Reliability Checkup
  We inspect all system components to ensure AC reliability in addition to verifying the duct system is not wasting air. When there are leaks and other inefficiency problems, your system works harder to keep hot air out, using more energy and costing you money. 
• Equipment Evaluation and Cleaning
  Our Trust Certified® technicians check your air filter, coolant levels, condenser coils, drains, and evaporator in addition to looking for smaller, less obvious problems that could surface in the future.
• How-To Info and Maintenance Plans
  We show you how to use the correct air filter for your system and cooling needs. Additionally, our maintenance plans are ideal for keeping your AC system in tip-top shape, and only take a few minutes to purchase online.  

Our 19-point tune-up can prolong the life of your air conditioning system, help you avoid costly repairs, and enable you to enjoy greater peace of mind.

AC tune-ups help equipment run at or near original factory specifications, depending on age and overall condition. When cooling equipment runs efficiently, it doesn’t have to work as hard to do its job, which will save you money and increase the equipment’s lifespan.

HVAC System Maintenance can provide even bigger savings for homeowners. Often, our technicians find small problems that can be fixed quickly and inexpensively during an HVAC System Maintenance visit. If neglected, these same issues can worsen over time, causing quite a dent in your wallet and eventually resulting in costly repair services.

For example, if a refrigerant leak is noticed early, it can easily be repaired at an affordable cost. However, if the leak goes undetected, it can drain the refrigerant and burn up the compressor. At first, a failing compressor will run inefficiently, raising your electric bills by hundreds of dollars. Once your compressor stops working altogether, it can cost $1,000 or more to replace.
