Have you noticed that the only time you pay attention to your air conditioner is when it stops working? Like most people, you probably just turn on the air conditioner and go about your day. There is nothing worse than coming home to your A/C being broken when the temperatures are on the rise. A broken A/C can make your home feel like an oven, which, of course, is uncomfortable, but it can also be damaging to your home. A/C tune-ups are the simplest way to maintain your A/C unit and prevent it from breaking when you need it the most. 

Here are four reasons why every homeowner should get an annual A/C tune-up.

1. Help Prevent Breakdowns

An A/C tune-up is a preventative maintenance measure. During tune-ups, we inspect the inside and outside of your A/C unit to check for any issues that could lead to a breakdown in the future and fix them before it’s too late. By getting your A/C tuned and checked for problems, you are preventing any unexpected breakdowns that might occur. 

2. Efficiency and Extended Life

Dust and debris build up inside the air conditioner’s coils and mechanical parts over time, and can impact your unit’s ability to function properly. This means that your A/C may end up working harder to produce the same amount of energy and cool air. With regular A/C tune-ups, your unit becomes more energy efficient - meaning that you save money on your energy bills.

3. Air Quality

The air filters in your A/C unit fill up with dust, dirt, hair, and other debri, much like any other filters in your home. During a tune-up, all air filters in the unit are replaced to ensure that you are breathing the best air you can while inside your home.

4. Lower Costs

As mentioned above, a dirty A/C has to work harder to cool your home, causing your energy bills to rise. During regular tune-ups, the inner workings of the unit will be cleaned to make sure it functions at its highest efficiency. Also, if there is a problem with your unit, our technician will catch it and prevent it from becoming a significant problem in the future. This means you pay less for maintenance fees, and you are less likely to have to purchase a new unit.

The rainy season is here and so is the question: ‘why does my basement always flood when it rains?’ There are many reasons why a basement may flood, even in the driest weather. If you have experienced water in your basement, and if it is a consistent issue, it is important to find the source and fix the problem before personal property damage, structural damage or mold occur. 

With the chilly weather comes the “No Heat Calls”- calls where people report losing heat. This issue can happen to anyone and is not only inconvenient, it is also dangerous. Although modern heating and cooling systems are generally reliable, they can still develop problems that threaten safety and comfort.
