Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need to get my AC tuned?
Air conditioning systems should be tuned once a year, usually in the spring so they are ready for summer heat.
Does spraying water on an outdoor AC unit help?
Spraying water on your air conditioner has been shown to help it run more efficiently by removing the accumulated dust, dirt, and debris from the path of the airflow that is necessary to keep it from overheating. Spray off the condenser coils a couple times a year to keep it in optimal shape.

How often should I have an AC tune up?
You should plan to have an AC tune-up at least once a year, usually in the spring before summer use.
What happens if my AC isn’t serviced?
Not servicing your AC allows dust to accumulate on the filters. This dust requires your unit to work much harder to cool your home which raises your energy bill. AC servicing also includes lubricating the parts to keep energy efficiency at its prime. AC maintenance and tune-ups allows for wear-and-tear checks and replacements to keep your unit functioning for years to come. Not doing all these things could lead to an expensive AC breakdown and higher energy bills.
Is an AC tune up worth it?
Yes. Taking care of your AC unit investment keeps your energy bills down, gives you reliability you can trust in the summer heat, and extends the lifespan of your unit.
