As warmer weather starts, you could be considering, is an AC tune-up worth it in Myrtle Beach? Especially if your cooling system is up-to-date or was running well last season.

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

The same is applicable to your AC. It’s equipment that consumes fuel and has moving pieces. Like a vehicle, it can get leaks and its moving parts can fail.

Having your equipment checked annually by a Polar Air & Mechanical expert can help spot small issues before they lead to large breakdowns. (And cause your AC to stop running!)

Six Reasons to Tune Up Your AC in the Spring

  1. It keeps your system clean. Since your AC is installed outdoors, it’s more susceptible to having a buildup of dirt, leaves and other yard debris, which can greatly affect your equipment’s efficiency. While you can follow our how to clean your AC guide, we recommend calling an expert to service intricate internal pieces.
  2. It keeps your unit efficient. Dirt and yard refuse that accumulate inside your equipment can make it work harder and restrict airflow. Both these problems can create higher energy needs—and a more expensive energy bill!
  3. It could prolong your system’s life span. A clean unit is an efficient one and could even help it last for a longer period of time. That’s money that you won’t spend on your monthly energy costs and over the years, as you won’t have to buy new equipment as fast.
  4. It helps identify little troubles before they turn into big, pricey problems. During professional AC maintenance, your technician will carefully examine parts and complete a set of cooling performance tests. These detailed procedures often allow us to locate troubles before they turn into major issues that result in a pricey repair bill.
  5. It helps guarantee worry-free cooling throughout the summer. After your equipment is serviced, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your unit is ready to give worry-free cooling. Even on the most humid days. It’s one of the best methods to keep your air conditioner from failing.
  6. It keeps your warranty in place. Most manufacturers call for regular maintenance to keep your warranty in place. Without this work, your system is open to early breakdowns and lowered efficiency.
