AC Maintenance: Spring Tune Ups Prevent Summer Breakdowns

Spring is upon us, and that means it’s time to schedule your AC maintenance before you need to turn on your air conditioner. 

Keep reading to find out why it’s so important to get your system cleaned, inspected, and tuned up every year. And why spring is the ideal time to do it. Plus, learn about our membership plans that make AC maintenance super easy and affordable.

What is AC maintenance?

Your air conditioner is a complex system that needs periodic care and maintenance to keep working well. Air conditioner maintenance service includes checking the operation of all components, cleaning, changing filters, and replacing aging or failing parts. These are just a few of the tasks your maintenance technician will take care of:

• Checking the electrical system
• Checking refrigerant charge
• Testing blower motors
• Checking and lubricating moving parts 
• Cleaning drain lines, pans, fan blades
• Cleaning or replacing filters
• Checking coil operation and looking for corrosion
• Test thermostats
• Look for signs of excess humidity

How often is maintenance needed? For most homeowners in the Westchester area, we recommend annual service.

Benefits of AC maintenance for your Westchester home 

When your air conditioner quietly does its job of cooling your home all summer, it’s easy to take it for granted. Since cooling is so important for your family’s comfort and health, don’t forget to take care of your essential equipment. It needs a yearly AC checkup and tune up to keep working reliably and efficiently. 

Here’s what you get with a small investment in annual air conditioner maintenance:

• Prevent disruptive summer breakdowns. Don’t risk being without AC on the hottest day of the year. Maintenance helps keep your equipment running reliably.
• Avoid expensive repairs. Your maintenance technician can uncover and fix minor issues now to prevent major (and costly) failures later. 
• Extend the life of your system. Yearly tune ups keep your equipment in peak condition so it lasts longer.
• Reduce your electric bill. Maintenance keeps your system working efficiently, so it uses less electricity.  
• Do your part for the planet. You can feel good about reducing your energy consumption with optimized AC equipment.
• Keep your AC equipment warranty valid. Did you know that manufacturers require yearly service to validate the equipment warranty? If you don’t do regular service, your warranty claim may be denied.
• Improve indoor air quality. Cleaning AC components and changing filters reduces dust and airborne particles to make air cleaner and healthier for your family.

Why is spring the right time to get AC maintenance?

The best time to get air conditioner maintenance is now! Here’s why:

• Prevent start-up problems. Air conditioners often experience issues the first time they are turned on after many months of sitting idle. Cleaning, oiling, and testing the components before startup can prevent these issues.
• No wait for an appointment. Most homeowners don’t think about servicing their AC until summer. So you get ahead of the rush. 
• Be ready for that first hot day. The weather seems to get more and more unpredictable, so you may need to turn on the AC sooner than you expect.  
• Save money with pre season discounts: $90 off in March, $70 off in April, or $50 off in May. Schedule your service now for the lowest price! Get a membership with Bruni & Campisi for excellent service at the best price, plus additional perks and discounts.
