As springtime rolls around, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Pella? Particularly if your AC unit is recently purchased or was running well last summer.

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

The same applies for your air conditioning. It’s equipment that needs fuel and has moving components. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving parts can fail.

Having your equipment checked yearly by a Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating professional can help spot little issues before they lead to large malfunctions. (And cause your equipment to stop working!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is located outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can majorly affect your system’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a specialist to service delicate internal parts.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate inside your equipment can make it work harder and decrease airflow. Both these issues can cause higher energy use—and a higher energy bill!
  3. It could lengthen your unit’s life span. A clean AC is an efficient one and might even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly energy costs and over the years, since you won’t have to install new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps spot little issues before they lead to big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine components and complete a cycle of air conditioning performance checks. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify troubles before they turn into extensive troubles that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free operation throughout the season. After your unit is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your equipment is ready to deliver worry-free comfort. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the smartest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers expect regular maintenance to keep your warranty going. Without this tune-up, your unit is open to advanced breakdowns and limited efficiency.
