How often Do I Need an AC Tune-Up?
Anyone who has had to endure a day or more without air conditioning can attest to this being downright miserable. So the smart thing to do is ensure your AC unit is working well and how do you ensure that? By having routine AC Tune-Ups twice a year. Yes, that’s right TWICE a year. When you own an air conditioner or any other home appliance regular maintenance is the key to the life expectancy of that unit.
 AC units work overtime down here in the hot South Florida heat. To avoid dealing with an AC break down and the potential of needing to buy a new air conditioner East Coast Mechanical (ECM) recommends scheduling an AC Tune-Up every six months, with one right before summer. If you're in need of an AC Tune-Up contact ECM today to schedule an appointment with one of our skilled AC technicians 561-295-1763.
 6 Reasons You Should Keep Your AC Maintained
1. AC Efficiency-one of the main reasons for getting AC tune-ups on a regular basis is to keep your AC running efficiently. Tune-ups keep your unit clean and running efficiently.
2. Save Money-air conditioners that aren't maintained regularly tend to need more repairs and break down more often. Your A/C unit's parts work as one, if one part is broken or poorly performing it can put extra stress on the other parts causing a domino effect, leaving you stuck with big repair bills.
3. Less AC Repairs-in many cases the repairs are so badly needed where it makes more sense to just get a new air conditioning unit. Proper AC maintenance will almost ensure this is not a scenario you are left dealing with.
4. Extend the Life of Your AC-tying into all of the above is to extend the life of your air conditioning unit. Proper maintenance can literally be the difference in a decade’s lifespan for you’re A/C unit.
5. AC Warranty-one thing often overlooked is staying compliant with the unit’s warranty. Many manufacturers offer warranties for peace of mind to their customers.  However with many of these warranties for them to remain active the unit must be properly maintained. Â
6. SEER Rating-SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio, which is determined by the Air Conditioning Heating Refrigeration Institute. Your SEER rating is connected to the efficiency of your AC. If you don't get regular AC Tune-Ups your SEER rating will most likely go down and so will the efficiency of your air conditioner.
When you purchase a new air conditioner or you have an AC unit that is a few years old the key to keeping your AC working efficiently is regular maintenance. If you live in Boynton Beach or any other city in South Florida make sure you get AC tune-ups twice a year. If you neglect the care of your AC you will most likely end up with expensive repair bills and purchasing a new air conditioner much sooner than you need to.
