Can a Tune-Up Prevent an AC Breakdown?

Annual air conditioning maintenance lowers the risk of a breakdown in your South Florida home.

It also does so much more:

• An AC tune-up boosts efficiency, which saves energy and reduces utility costs.
• It improves indoor air quality (IAQ). A thorough cleaning removes dust, dirt, mold, and other allergens that have accumulated inside your AC unit and may be circulating into your living space.
• It extends the AC system’s life span.
• Maintaining your central air conditioner can improve its ability to lower indoor humidity, an essential function for homes in Greater Fort Lauderdale.

At Paradise Plumbing & Air Conditioning, our expert technicians can ensure your central air conditioner works efficiently in your Fort Lauderdale home and delivers clean, conditioned air with the ideal amount of moisture, even on hot, humid days.

We strongly believe in preventative AC maintenance because it keeps your system running smoothly and lowers the chance of a breakdown.

South Florida AC Maintenance

The beauty of a tune-up is that it puts professional eyes on your AC unit. A trained technician will notice potential problems and can address them before they need extensive and costly repairs or cause a breakdown.

If you neglect annual maintenance, you may not realize your air conditioner needs attention until you hear or feel symptoms, such as unusual noises or lukewarm air blowing from your air ducts.

What might have been an inexpensive fix had you intervened becomes a significant problem. You may save a few dollars by skipping maintenance, but you may pay for costlier repairs in the long run.

Is an AC Tune-Up Worth the Money?

In most cases, a maintenance visit will prevent unexpected and inconvenient breakdowns. The key to maintenance, however, is consistency.

Scheduling a maintenance checkup once every few years increases the chance of a breakdown. An annual tune-up reduces the risk.

Your AC puts in a lot of miles during our Florida summers. Scheduling a springtime tune-up for your HVAC equipment is a small investment that could save you money and help prevent a costly breakdown during an August heat wave.

Upgrading Your Fort Lauderdale AC Unit

Although a tune-up increases system longevity, your air conditioner will not last forever. You can swap worn components for new ones, but at some point, it makes financial sense to buy a new, more efficient unit.

You can count on us at Paradise Plumbing & Air Conditioning to recommend the best air conditioning system for your Fort Lauderdale home. Ask us about options when you are ready to replace your existing equipment.

According to ENERGY STAR^®, installing a high-efficiency air conditioner can save up to 20 percent on cooling costs. It recommends replacing your air conditioner if it is older than 10 years. Well-maintained air conditioners can last 10 to 15 years, although they will not be as efficient as a new high-efficiency unit.
