Here are 5 benefits to getting an A/C tune-up every year.
With winter in our rear-view mirror and summer about to arrive in full force, it’s time to start thinking about your home’s cooling system. When was the last time your air conditioning equipment received a thorough maintenance visit from a licensed HVAC technician?
Annual A/C maintenance is as important to your cooling system’s health as a yearly visit to a mechanic is to your car — or an annual check-up is for your personal well-being.
In Fairfield, Litchfield and Putnam Counties, Leahy’s Fuels performs comprehensive A/C tune-ups for customers. Spring is an excellent time to arrange this service since we have more availability and can get your equipment ready for the summer months ahead. Here are five benefits of getting annual A/C maintenance.
1. More Reliable Home Comfort
When the summer sun is beating down on a sweltering afternoon, no one wants stubborn hot spots in their home. And you certainly don’t want to have your A/C break down on you. Trained technicians like the folks at Leahy’s Fuels can keep your system running effectively. They can also fix small issues before they lead to breakdowns. Four out of five of the most expensive A/C repairs are preventable with a little routine maintenance.
2. Lower Energy Bills
An annual tune-up will help your A/C equipment run more efficiently while using less electricity to keep you cool. Indeed, the cost of your tune-up can be largely offset by these energy savings.

3. A Longer Cooling System Lifespan
On average, a central A/C system can last 10 to 15 years before needing to be replaced. Want your equipment to last for the longest possible period and possibly exceed that life expectancy? Regular maintenance is the most crucial way to extend your A/C’s service life.
4. Better Indoor Air Quality
The ductwork your cooling system uses can also circulate airborne pollutants like dust, mold and pollen. Well-maintained cooling systems run cleaner. This helps improve your indoor air quality, which lowers instances of allergy attacks, respiratory illnesses, and dry, itchy skin.
5. Protecting Your System’s Warranty
Your HVAC equipment’s manufacturer’s warranty likely requires you to arrange annual service from a professional. If you skip your yearly tune-up and something breaks in your cooling equipment, you could be on the hook for the full cost of the repair — even if it’s supposed to be covered by your warranty.
