Spring has sprung in Brooklyn. But with the warmer weather, you should be reminded that even hotter weather will soon be on its way.

So, before you turn your air conditioning back on for the hotter months ahead, you should have your system tuned up so that it’s in peak condition to handle the summer heat.

1. Cleaner Air

You’ll be closing your home up soon to keep the cooler air inside and this can cause the air in your home to become stale. A professional HVAC technician will ensure that your air filters and ductwork are clean of debris that can trap fresher air from filling your home.

2. An Extended Lifespan

Most HVAC systems last between 10 and 15 years but could last a little longer if you regularly seek a professional to keep your AC running at its most efficient. This also extends the life of your unit.

3. More Energy Efficiency

A tune-up will test to see if your unit is leaking refrigerants, which can add to greenhouse gases. It will also ensure your system is working at its most efficient, which can save you money on your utilities as it reduces consumption.

4. Compliance with Your Manufacturer

Did you know that some AC manufacturers require yearly maintenance to keep the warranty in effect? If you’ve recently gotten a new system, you may not think it needs to be tuned up, but your warranty paperwork may say differently.

5. A Reduction in Breakdowns

Because a tune-up allows your technician to observe the working parts on your air conditioner, you can make upgrades or changes that will keep your system from breaking during times of heavy use, ultimately avoiding the need for Brooklyn air conditioning repair.

Bonus Reason: Peace of Mind

Scheduling an inspection now will give you peace of mind all summer and all winter long. If you run a natural gas system, regular inspections are vital to your family’s safety. A tune-up will include a check of your natural gas lines and connections, making sure they aren’t cracked and failing. As always, if you smell the telltale rotten eggs odor of natural gas, evacuate immediately and call 911 from a safe distance. Then, call Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning for repair.

When Should You Get an AC Tune-Up?

Your Brooklyn air conditioning service experts at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning recommend that you get your air conditioning system tuned up at least once a year, either in fall or spring before you start the heat or A/C for the season. This way, you can identify and fix any problems that could become catastrophes down the road.

In addition, spring and fall are great times to schedule a tune-up because demand for heating and cooling services is relatively low. You can book an appointment that fits your busy schedule.

What Will You Get During an AC Tune-Up?

When our HVAC service expert visits your home to tune up your HVAC system, they will use the latest techniques and technology to inspect your entire heating and cooling system. Then, they will perform routine maintenance to get your systems working at tip-top shape. Some of the services include:
