Why Spring AC Maintenance is So Important

Scheduling an air conditioner tuneup for your Conway, Arkansas, home is a wise investment. AC maintenance keeps equipment warranties valid, ensures that your evaporator and condenser coils are clean and that your AC’s electrical system is operating safely. There are other benefits as well:

Reduces Severity and Frequency of AC Repairs

Industry research confirms that 95 percent of AC repairs are preventable with seasonal tuneups. Conditions that can cause breakdowns are arrested before they damage your equipment. That saves money and provides peace of mind.

Increased Energy Efficiency

Air conditioners lose efficiency with age. The best way to counteract that is with regular seasonal maintenance. An experienced AC technician can keep your unit as efficient as possible. Maintenance also removes dirt and accumulated grunge that interferes with efficient operation and can drive utility bills into the stratosphere.

Improves Indoor Air Quality

The deep cleaning that your service technician will give your unit reduces the presence of contaminants that would otherwise blow into your home and pollute your indoor air. Airborne toxins like microbes, pollen, pet dander, and dust mites can cause symptoms like headache, nausea and fatigue.

Maintains a Proper Refrigerant Level

Without sufficient refrigerant, your system will stop cooling your home. During maintenance, your service technician will check your system’s refrigerant level. If it’s low, your tech will repair any leaks and restore your refrigerant to the proper level.

Prevents Condensate Line Clogs

The condensate line drains the moisture that your AC removes from indoor air. Over time, this line gets clogged with algae and dirt that causes moisture to back up into your air conditioner. You might see puddles of water around your unit, and your home could become excessively humid.
