Why AC Tune-Ups Are Important

 

Annual AC tune-ups are vital for ensuring the reliability and longevity of your air conditioning system in California. Failing to perform regular tune-ups increases the potential for a sudden, unexpected failure. It can also void your warranty and shorten the expected life span of your air conditioning unit. 

 

What Happens If You Don’t Maintain Your AC System?

 

Big problems almost always start out as minor issues. Regular maintenance helps identify small problems before they require extensive and expensive repairs. When one damaged component isn’t repaired, it can increase strain on the system as a whole and cause additional components to fail.

FAQs About AC Tune Up Services

 

Common signs that you need an AC tune up

 

If your AC isn’t cooling properly, your utility bills are rising unexpectedly, or you hear strange noises, smell strange odors, or notice pooling fluid around the AC, a tune-up is strongly recommended.

 

Do manufacturers review service history when a warranty claim is made?

 

Absolutely! Many manufacturers will want to see proof that you have maintained your air conditioner as required by the warranty. If the manufacturer does not believe you have maintained the unit, they can and will void the warranty coverage.

 

How often should you clean the air conditioner?

 

You should always check your air conditioner filters every month or two. This is especially important in California, where windblown dust and debris can quickly clog filters. You will also want to promptly remove any tumbleweeds or other debris that blocks air flow around the unit. As a general rule, if it looks dirty, give it a quick cleaning.

 

How often should you change refrigerant?

 

Unless you have a leak, it is unlikely you will need to change your refrigerant, as it should last between 12 and 15 years.

 

Does undersizing/oversizing an air conditioner impact performance?

 

Absolutely! If your air conditioner is undersized, it will struggle to maintain the desired temperature in your home. This will increase wear and tear on the system and result in a shorter operational life span. If it’s too large, you will waste energy and pay higher utility bills than necessary to enjoy your desired level of comfort.
