Just like a car, your air conditioning system needs yearly maintenance in order to keep its performance at a high level and extend the life of the equipment.
Getting your air conditioning system checked out in the spring is like having your vehicle serviced before a long road trip: it gives you confidence that the system will hold up through the hot Texas summer.
It sometimes seems cheaper and easier to just ignore the air conditioner until it breaks, but that's an illusion.
The cost to replace your air conditioning system is around $10,000! Having proper maintenance performed on your system will extend its life by years.
The manufacturer of your air conditioning equipment expects annual maintenance in order for your warranty to remain valid.
If you should ever need to have part of your system replaced under warranty, having records of this maintenance will keep the hassle to a minimum.

Getting an A/C Tune-Up also improves the performance of your air conditioning system.
If your air conditioning system is not well-maintained, you are not getting all of the cooling from your system that you could. Dirty units or a even a slightly low refrigerant charge can result in a significant reduction in the cooling ability of the system. Getting these issues cleared up will improve the comfort of your home throughout the summer.
If your system performance is at its best, your air conditioner does not have to run as long to achieve the desired temperature, which means lower energy bills.
The electricity used to power your air conditioner represents over half of your electric bill. Typically, by the end of summer, the A/C Tune Up will have paid for itself in reduced energy costs.
