The comfort of your home and the longevity of your AC unit depend on the type of AC service the system receives. Waiting until the system breaks down to get AC techs out is too late. Many AC problems can be prevented when you get the right services at the right time. Here are a few AC services you may need.

Tune Ups

According to American Home Shield, experts suggest that you have your home air conditioner serviced with a tune-up once a year. Getting this service done in the spring, before the hot weather hits, is ideal. During a tune-up, your AC service tech will inspect the entire system for problems. The system will also be cleaned. Any components that are damaged or worn out will be replaced. Fluids within the system will also be topped off.

Filter Changes

Regularly changing AC filters is one of the most basic types of maintenance and yet homeowners still forget to do this on a regular basis. Although it may seem like a small task, dirty air filters can actually impact performance, increase energy usage, and cut down on the longevity of your system. You can set your system up on a regular maintenance plan with local AC professionals and filters will always be changed on time.

Ductwork Cleaning

If you have a central AC system, then you have ductwork running through your home. These are the passages through which the air circulates. The ductwork can become dirty over time. It can also become damaged. Damaged or dirty ductwork will make your system work too hard. This leads to high energy bills and more frequent repairs on your system. It also leads to breakdowns and replacements too early. Getting your ductwork cleaned regularly will help maintain your system and keep the air quality of your home high.

Timely Upgrades

A big mistake that homeowners often make is to wait too long to have their AC replaced. The motive is often an effort to save money, but in the long run, you’ll wind up with a system breaking down suddenly, an uncomfortable home, and the need to replace a system unexpectedly. It’s smarter to plan for a replacement ahead of time and have upgrades done before the old system completely dies.
