Regular maintenance helps your heating and cooling system function better all year long. Learn why spring is the best time for an HVAC tune-up in Bridgeville, PA below.
Summer Preparation
A spring tune-up prepares the HVAC system in your home in Bridgeville for summer. As spring ends, you may have to use your AC more often, and this service ensures your system is safe to use. It also lowers the risk of your air conditioner breaking down and not cooling your home.
Emergency Prevention
Maintaining your HVAC system during the spring can help prevent seasonal emergencies. Emergency situations might include the unit running out of or leaking refrigerant. There’s also a possibility your unit freezes up or just doesn’t turn on.
Less AC Downtime
AC emergencies can leave you without air conditioning for hours. They may require the installation of new parts or call for repairing major components like the compressor. Reduce the time you go without AC by scheduling a spring HVAC tune-up.
Lower Repair Costs
AC repair costs are sometimes expensive. You might spend hundreds or even thousands on new parts, labor and installation. Spring HVAC maintenance can lower or eliminate those costs by catching issues early.
Improved Energy Efficiency
By ensuring all components are clean and operating effectively, a tune-up can improve HVAC efficiency. This helps your unit keep your home more comfortable while using less energy. In turn, your energy bills may decrease, and your home becomes more eco-friendly without any comfort being sacrificed.
Longer Unit Lifespan
A well-maintained HVAC unit can last for 15 to 20 years. Regular spring tune-ups help your system last longer by keeping all components in good working order and preventing avoidable wear and tear. They also help evade the costs of buying and installing a new unit too soon.
Ductwork Servicing
Our technicians inspect ductwork while performing spring HVAC maintenance. They’ll check for damage that might require repairs as well as any blockages or debris that can be easily removed to restore proper airflow throughout your home.
Outdoor Unit Cleaning
Your outdoor unit probably accumulates dust and dirt throughout the year, thus lowering your system’s efficiency. Fortunately, our technicians will clean the evaporator and condenser coils in your outdoor unit during the tune-up. Just be sure to clear the area of any outdoor plants or furniture before we arrive.
Vent Cleaning
Your system’s performance can also depend on the cleanliness of your home’s vents. You may lack the equipment to clean out dust, dirt and clogs in them. The HVAC professional we send to your home will remove debris for you.
Better Air Quality
Debris in the vents and on the outdoor unit can lower your home’s air quality. Dust, pet hair and dander and other allergens make people sneeze and cough. Thanks to cleaning and inspection, springtime tune-ups ensure your unit is filtering and circulating indoor air properly, helping to reduce the buildup of indoor pollutants for better IAQ.
Promptness
Hiring one of our technicians during the spring helps you beat the summertime rush. During the summer, customers’ need for HVAC services increases. Scheduling maintenance for the spring helps you avoid the high summertime demand.
Minor Issue Repairs
Spring HVAC maintenance addresses minor issues like a loose fan blade or stripped screws. These minor problems could contribute to larger and costlier ones later. Resolve them sooner rather than later by ensuring your system undergoes a spring checkup.
Quieter Operation
Minor issues like a frayed belt or parts that need lubricating can cause alarming and loud noises. Your HVAC system might squeal, screech or rattle. These noises make it difficult to watch TV, carry on a conversation, work without distraction or get quality sleep. Address, and event prevent, strange noises with regular maintenance.
Lower Indoor Humidity
As winter departs, it takes the dry indoor and outdoor air with it. Higher humidity levels make the air in your home warm and uncomfortable. It can also cause your system to work too hard and use more energy. It additionally might lead to a musty smell and even mold growth in your home. Spring service can ensure your HVAC system is able to maintain optimal humidity levels.
Temperature Consistency
A system that’s past-due for a tune-up might unevenly heat or cool your home. Some parts of the house may feel colder or warmer than others. Springtime servicing can provide you with more consistent temperatures throughout your house.
Fewer Tripped Breakers
A unit in need of a tune-up might also frequently trip its breaker. Tripped breakers can cause damage to the unit’s wiring and electrical components like the power switch. This problem can also contribute to your heating and AC system wearing out faster.
Better Thermostat Function
When you run your system, you rely on its thermostat to provide an accurate real air temperature reading. A thermostat that malfunctions can contribute to problems like constant or short cycling. These issues can shorten your HVAC unit’s lifespan and increase your home’s energy use. The solution might involve checking the thermostat’s wiring, recalibrating it or replacing it, all of which can be done during your tune-up.
Water Leak Prevention
Failure to maintain your unit can increase the risk of water leaks. These often occur because a condensate drain is clogged with algae, dirt or other grime. Frozen evaporator coils can also cause this problem. Water leaking from the unit can damage your floors and walls and allow mildew to grow. Avoid all of this with regular tune-up services.
Warranty Compliance
An active warranty on your home’s HVAC system may require a seasonal tune-up. Forgoing this service can void the warranty, leaving you liable for repairs and replacement of parts. Spring maintenance keeps the warranty active and in good standing.
