The Importance of A Spring Air Conditioner Tune-up

Here in Minnesota summer temperatures and humidity can become downright unbearable without properly functioning air conditioning. It’s important to service your cooling system before peak summer season rolls around. A simple spring tune up will reduce the chance that your air conditioner breaks down during peak summer season, when it may be hard to schedule immediate service, leaving you to sweat it out until help arrives. Emergency repairs will hit you harder in the pocket-book, too, often requiring additional service time and part replacements which may have been avoided with preventative maintenance.

Not only will a spring tune-up of your home’s A/C system ensure you and your family’s comfort during the warm months ahead, it can also extend the life of the unit up to 15 years versus the 7 year life span of a unit left ignored. A spring tune-up will also improve your A/C’s efficiency by up to 20%, saving you money on energy costs.
