As winter gives way to spring, it’s a good idea to schedule a tuneup appointment so your AC unit is ready to combat summer temperatures. While many don’t think to call an HVAC contractor unless something is wrong with their heat or air conditioning, these professionals can maintain your HVAC system so your home temperatures remain comfortable all year. Below are a few benefits of being proactive about air conditioning maintenance.

3 Benefits of a Spring Air Conditioning Tuneup

1. Maintain Healthy Air Quality

When your air conditioner sits idle all winter, it will collect dust. Systems with ductwork are particularly likely to house contaminants like dust and pollen that will then blow around the house once you turn on the air conditioner. Hire an HVAC contractor to clean your system so you can enjoy the cool air without contributing to allergies and respiratory issues.

2. Catch Repairs Early

When you turned off your AC last fall, you may not have realized that your system needed repairs. By calling an HVAC contractor to assess your unit in the spring, you can handle any lingering issues before they become more complicated. This means you are more likely to avoid a breakdown when the temperatures are truly unbearable.

3. Save Money

Don’t wait for a breakdown to bring in an HVAC contractor. By this time, you may have spent more than necessary because your AC wasn’t running as efficiently as possible. Save money by getting your system looked at now so it will run efficiently and be set to run at full capacity for the months ahead.
