Homeowners in Berkshire County need a powerful and reliable AC system to keep them comfortable during the region’s hot and humid summers. The most important way homeowners can ensure optimal performance from their system is through annual professional maintenance.
In this article, the HVAC experts at LePrevost discuss why it’s important to receive an AC tune-up every year and the benefits that this regular service provides.
Benefits of AC Tune-ups
Scheduling annual AC maintenance is key for keeping your air conditioning operating at peak performance. Scheduling your tune-up for late winter or early spring before you turn on your AC for the first time provides homeowners with a wide range of benefits.
Improved Comfort
Summer highs in the area can enter the mid 80s with humidity levels above 70%. To ensure that you’re able to keep your home cool and comfortable, you’ll need a powerful AC system. After months of sitting idle, your system can have dust and degradation that makes it difficult to maintain the right temperature for your home. A tune-up can prepare your system for frequent use and ensure your total comfort.
Humidity Control
Summer’s muggy weather can result in moisture accumulation in your AC. Without proper maintenance and cleaning, this can lead to dangerous mold growth in both the system and your home. To protect your indoor air quality, schedule a tune-up to ensure your system is properly dehumidifying your home.
Reduced Allergens
Spring in the region means an increase in tree pollen, grass pollen, and ragweed, which can be detrimental to homeowners with severe allergies. To protect your health and reduce symptoms, an AC tune-up will ensure that your system is filtering these pollutants properly and always includes filter changes to prevent clogged filters and dirty ductwork from circulating allergens throughout your home.
Greater Energy Efficiency
Many older homes are not as energy-efficient as modern builds, which can negatively impact cooling costs. Schedule maintenance services to prevent your AC from overworking and to help reduce energy bills during the summer.
Lower Risk of Breakdowns
During a professional maintenance appointment, a technician will do a thorough inspection of your system to find and fix minor issues before they cause serious problems. This proactive approach helps reduce your risk of breakdowns that can come on the hottest day of the year. Plus, any future repairs are likely to be smaller and less expensive.
Increased System Lifespan
Since a new air conditioner is a major investment, most homeowners want to delay a full replacement for as long as possible. The best way to keep your system working well for years to come is with routine maintenance. By reducing unnecessary wear and tear, annual tune-ups can help you avoid a costly premature replacement.
