As springtime begins, you may be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Des Moines? Particularly if your cooling system is recently installed or was running well last season.

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

The same applies for your air conditioning. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving pieces. Like a car, it can get leaks and its moving pieces can break down.

Having your unit checked yearly by a Kohles & Bach Heating & Cooling tech can help spot little issues before they become large meltdowns. (And cause your air conditioning to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your equipment clean. Since your air conditioner is placed outdoors, it’s more vulnerable to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard refuse, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling a professional to service complicated internal components.
  2. It keeps your system efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate within your unit can make it work harder and lower airflow. Both these problems can lead to higher energy needs—and a higher utility bill!
  3. It could lengthen your equipment’s life span. A clean system is an efficient one and may even help it work for a longer period of time. That’s money that you’ll save on your monthly electricity costs and over the years, as you won’t have to buy new equipment as soon.
  4. It helps determine little issues before they become big, expensive problems. During professional AC maintenance, your specialist will keenly examine pieces and complete a series of cooling performance verifications. These all-inclusive procedures often allow us to identify issues before they turn into big issues that result in a costly repair bill.
  5. It helps deliver worry-free cooling throughout the season. After your AC is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind realizing your system is ready to give worry-free air. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the wisest methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty going. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Without this maintenance, your equipment is open to early breakdowns and limited efficiency.
