5 Signs You Need An A/C Tune-Up

Staying on top of your cooling system’s maintenance is the only way to be sure that it’s operating as efficiently as it should. Below are FIVE SIGNS that your system needs some TLC to ensure it will BEAT THE HEAT this summer.

Spotty Or Uneven Cooling​

When your airflow isn’t strong enough to cool your entire home, or if some areas are warmer than others, this can cause discomfort. Your cooling system is intended to keep your entire house always feeling cool and if it’s not, it’s time for a tune-up.

High Electricity Bills​

If you notice that your energy bills have increased, this is a sign that your A/C is working harder than it was before to keep your home cool. Whether a part needs to be tightened, replaced, or cleaned,a tune-up is necessary to get to the bottom of the situation and get your system working efficiently again.

Varying Temperatures On Your Thermostat​

If you have your home cooling system set to a certain temperature but the thermostat shows that your home is different, that’s a sure sign that something is off with your cooling system. Your system should be able to achieve your desired temperature. The problem at hand could be anything from your system’s vents, evaporator coil, or anything in between.

Strange Noises​

Are you hearing clunking or humming noises coming from your cooling system? Any new noise from your system is something that should raise a red flag. A part could be loose or there could be an electrical issue… either way, if a strange noise persists, something is off that wasn’t before.

It's Been A Year Since Your Last Tune-Up​

Has it been a year or more since your last tune-up? If so, it’s definitely time for your next one. Cooling systems are supposed to be maintained twice per year, so skipping out on both of these is only causing harm to your system. When your system isn’t regularly maintained by a professional, you will likely void your warranty, leaving you to deal with a hefty bill if parts need to be replaced down the line.

If you have noticed one of these FIVE signs happening in your home, be sure to call our Waldrop team. WE would be happy to help you BEAT THE HEAT this summer with a $49 A/C Tune-Up!

Why A/C Maintenance Is Important For Your Home’s Health

Why A/C Maintenance Is Important For Your Home’s Health

Your cooling system affects the comfort and health of your entire home. When you avoid giving your system the attention it needs to run properly, this can have negative effects on the health of your home. Make sure you stay on top of your A/C’s maintenance, so you can have a cool, healthy home during our hot summer months!

Save Money

At the end of the day, maintaining your cooling system will cause your A/C expenses to go down, allowing you to put this money towards other important things. When your system undergoes routine maintenance, it will operate at maximum efficiency which will save you money in energy bills over time. What some homeowners don’t realize is that skipping out on maintenance can actually cause your system to void its warranty. You will have to pay out of pocket for those expensive parts and pieces that may be required later on. When you have your system tuned-up every year, you’ll be able to put the money saved toward taking care of your home and family.

Indoor Air Quality​

Dust and debris easily accumulate throughout your system. As the buildup starts to block the pathway for airflow, your system will be forced to work harder to keep your home cool, eventually causing parts and pieces to wear down. The air that does make its way through, will carry dust particles and debris with it, causing a decline in the quality of your home’s air. For those who already have health problems, such as asthma, this will only exacerbate their symptoms. When your cooling system is maintained, the air filters and surrounding areas are cleaned up.

Improve Your Comfort

Simple things like cleaning out your ductwork will allow your cooling system to more evenly and efficiently cool your home. Weak, stagnant airflow can cause a lot of discomfort in your home, distracting you from taking care of other important things. After a tune-up, your system will be running smoothly and efficiently, allowing everyone to experience the comfort and peace of mind that it’s supposed to provide!

Fire Hazards

Faulty wiring or wiring that is held together by electrical tape is never something that should be overlooked. As humidity and rain make their way back in the summer, moisture can seep under the tape, causing a fire, just as faulty wiring can cause a fire. When a technician tunes-up your system, they will be able to look for warning signs of dangerous things like poor electrical jobs, possibly even saving your family and your home.
