Are AC Tune-Ups Worth It?

Booking regular AC maintenance is worth the effort.

Maintenance keeps your AC equipment in Columbia operating at peak performance while keeping utility needs low. It also may even help lengthen its life span.

While there are several jobs you can do alone, you should work with Experts, like the ones at Midland Air Service Experts, for AC checks and upkeep.

Here are a few steps you can take by yourself as you prep for cooling season.

Get Your AC Maintenance Booked

Spring is a season of renewal, and to many that includes a large dose of house, garage and yard freshening. With the warmer temperatures near, it’s also a great idea to add AC maintenance on that checklist.

Spring is the perfect time of year to get your air conditioning system cleaned and checked out. Hesitating to switch it on until the first hot day of the summer can be dicey. If you need repair or installation, you might be waiting days for an appointment. And that can get extremely unbearable.

And for those with allergies, being ahead of the game with a clean cooling system will help provide the greatest indoor air quality during pollen season.

Plus, AC upkeep could be mandatory for your equipment’s manufacturer warranty or any other extended warranty.

Can I Finish Maintenance Myself?

There are procedures that you can do to help keep your AC unit in the prime condition:

  • Put in a new air filter advises each month or two. This is very crucial if you suffer from allergies or have animals in your house.
  • Lawn work by the exterior condenser. Ensure the area is free of grass, weeds or bushes near your AC equipment. We suggest keeping 2–3 feet of free area. You should also remove any leaves or branches that have dropped into your equipment, since this can block airflow.
