As with most home systems, maintenance is the key to longevity. Consider this, you wouldn’t dare to think of driving your car for 200 thousand miles without the occasional tune up, would you?

The same goes for your home’s air conditioner. Spring is the perfect time of the year to schedule, and budget for, an air conditioning tune up. These simple, and often surprisingly quick, maintenance appointments will help to prevent small issues from turning into expensive problems down the road.
Additionally, when you think ahead and plan for a spring A/C tune up, you are likely to beat the long waits that are characteristic during peak season.
Unsurprisingly, cleanliness and regular preventative maintenance are the most important factors to make sure your air conditioner operates safely. That said, an efficient air conditioning unit also saves you money in the long run. You will be able to enjoy cheaper energy bills.
An Air Conditioner Tune-Up Is Not A DIY Task
It is also important to understand that tune ups are best left to the professionals. For the most comprehensive HVAC services, it is always best to schedule a house visit with a trained technician. In fact, do it yourself tune ups can actually break or damage most systems.
What Is Involved In Air Conditioner Maintenance?
Simply put, trained heating and AC professionals know what they are looking for. They will make sure to inspect your and toughly clean your air conditioning unit. They’ll also check for signs of preventable wear and tear, which can often save on potentially costly repairs in the future.
During an annual tune up, HVAC professionals will also typically use a special cleaning solution to cleanse the air conditioning unit and its parts. This includes the coils and motor, which keeps the equipment in its best possible condition.
This cleaning is of utmost importance, as dirt and greasy build-up can weigh down the unit’s moving parts. Grimy build up may also strain the unit, causing it to run less efficiently. A good cleaning, even if it’s just once a year, will help further extend the lifespan of your air conditioning unit.
While an imperative maintenance step, a good cleaning isn’t the only facet of an annual AC tune up. Your technician will also perform the following actions:
- Inspect the entirety of the AC system and its components (to include any moving pieces/parts)
- Cleanse and drain the condensate line
- Clean all the unit’s evaporator and condenser coils
- Replace the old air filter with a brand new one
- Add a special lubricant or oil to all the unit’s moving mechanical parts. This will help them to perform more efficiently.
- Inspect all the unit’s duct work and point out any potential issues to the homeowner
- Check the AC unit’s thermostat controls and wiring. Again, the technician will communicate any potential issues to the homeowner.
- Check the pressure and fluid levels
Here are some additional tips that are as equally important as professional care:
